- Here's how I replace the front brake pads on our 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner. This process applies to both the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner, but also the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma.

Sand the dust and grime off of the pins and lightly coat them with anti-sieze to help get the pins back in. Also add a pair of pliers to your list of needed tools... :)
Good call, thanks!
Thank you so much, your video saved me a trip to the mechanic! Good stuff and you've earned a subscriber!
Nice work, I usually replace the pins as they are cheap and you want the pads to be able to move easily. Also any rust will sometimes make them impossible to remove in one piece so they are nice to have.
Good call. I wished the kit I had bought would've came with them and more shim plates, for sure! I would imagine they might be harder to pull in more rust and corrosion prone places!
Perfect timing. I was in the process to getting all the stuff to put Tacoma brakes and the other stuff on my 3rd gen 4Runner, when what is sounding like they need replaced now. Will replace the front brakes for the moment myself, while getting together the complete Tacoma truck stuff and doing that myself. P.S. Nothing is mentioned about brake shims in the Tacoma truck brake video's !!!
Good video, but you shouldn't need to remove any brake fluid. The fluid level between the high and low marks on the reservoir are sufficient to accommodate pad wear, so if the fluid level was at the high mark when the pads were installed, it will return when the pistons are compressed. Also, if your pins are bent or corroded, it's a good idea to replace them - the pads are supposed to slide a bit on the pins during normal operation, so you don't want any binding. You should be able to install the pins without hammering them back in, which is a good way to ensure the pads are able to operate properly.
Put them on today. Most of it went pretty smooth. My pins came out fairly easy. Putting the 16" tire back on was actually the hardest part. Probably been 20 plus yrs since i took a tire off and put it back on.
Nice work! I hate lifting them tires too! Only saving grace is the fact I don't have to pay someone else to do it for me!
I’ve seen the butterfly clip upside down. Does this make any difference?
There was 1 installed upside down on mine and it hasn't been an issue.
Great video Matt, I'm going to use it while I replace my front pads this afternoon or early morning.
Actually was a cool vid....MacGyver had his duct tape, you use your flat to fight crime.
Thanks for posting the vid.
Subscribed,
Thank you! Your video made the job a breeze!
Lol..nice to watch someone else do it. Well done. I've done lots of those on the Land Rover I had. But I did notice your brake disc move. It should not move with the pads off. Better check your bearing is snug enough . I would think it might be a bit loose.
Thanks for the awesome video.
I got all pins except 1 out. Kinda ended up misshaping the end of one that was stuck. Those things are soft metal it seems.
Fed. If your replacing the D1 pads with EBC items, do the disc rotors as well ? I've found swapping the RRC/D1/D2 pins allows the split pin to be accessed from the front of the calipers vs the back ! V.
Yeah the autistic spectrum personality in me would definitely do a bit of cleaning and tidying around those pins and pistons. Watching this, I had the urge to push you out of the way and attack everything with a wire brush, copper slip and some brake cleaner..... Lol.... Easy work on those Toyotas though....
Always use a pair of needle nose pliers when removing the holding pins, nothing else.
Im likin this vidya👌minty fella
use a brass hammer when needed not steel.
use needle nose pliers once again to remove the caliper old caliper thats stuck in deeper at 6:57............nothing else
I'm cringing about the screw driver, I use a pair of pliers to pull the pin out.
I should have, my toolbox was literally two steps away!
@@MattKester but you've got to love the ease of operation in replacing the Toyota brake pads😁
Yeah, it definitely is one of the simplest maintenance jobs I’ve ever done! I was looking at the ones on the disco when I was in there doing the springs the other day thinking, “this won’t be as easy when the time comes!.”
