Thank you for watching my video, I appreciate the support !
Video re uploaded due to being flagged for monetization.
I just changed the rotor and the brake pads for my husband's Toyota Corolla S 2011 and it was very easy. Not bad for a lady that has a husband that can't put a nail on a wall..lol.. Thanks.
Lol that's funny. Great job
Looks like you married the wrong guy
😂🤣😂 I would've never thought that a wife would be doing the job of a husband.
unusual in a woman. congratullations, do the service well done. Danger
Good for you ! Watching this vid and getting my parts shopping list together to do this job myself 'cause my last garage broke things on my car and changed parts that didn't need changing.😐
As someone who only knew how to change a tire, I was able to successfully switch out my rotors and brake pads thanks to you!! Super easy process, and phenomenal video. Thanks a million!!
Great to hear ! Glad my video helped! 👍💪
What a satisfying feeling. Not to mention the money we save by doing it ourselves. You don’t have to be a gear head to do routine maintenance on your vehicle. If you’re handy and can follow directions you can maintain most of your vehicles wearable parts with nothing more than a basic wrench and socket set. Every able bodied vehicle owner should be able to replace their own brakes, filters, fluids, oil changes etc.
Juan one won 🤣
Growing up as daddy's little girl, I learned how to repair a car at a very early age, but they were older cars where you had to bleed the brakes, etc, so when my Corollas brakes were starting to scrub, I got nervous about changing them, since I've never worked on a car this new, it's a 2016, anyway, you made it look so easy and really put my mind at ease with it, thanks. It took longer to jack the car up and take the tire off than it did to swap out the pads, YAY! I hope you have a video for the back brakes for when I need to do those!!
Bought new brake pads, rotors, all the lubes and cleaners, that caliper compressor tool and a torque wrench. $210. Followed the steps in the video to the letter and everything works perfectly...and it wasn't hard to do at all. I wonder how much it would've cost me had I taken it to a shop...
Because of your video, I saved money and I learned how to change brakes on my car. Thanks, brother!
Good to hear. Glad you invested in the tools to do it right. It would have cost about that much to have a shop do it but now you learned something and now have the correct tools to do the job yourself and continue to save money. Thanks for watching
@@themechanic6117 Agreed. But there was one thing I saw you do in your video that I could not, for the life of me, pull off. You know that "Slow Motion" spray thing you did with brake cleaner? The can I bought just wouldn't do that for some reason. I don't know, man.😄
That takes years of experience😂
By far the best brake video I have ever seen. Amazing work buddy.
Thats a very good trick for pushing that piston in, otherwise you end up struggling later finding a tool to do it. Never thought about it. Thanks !
thanks man the video was super helpful I did both sides in under 40 min and the little trick by not loosening only the bottom bolt made things much easier
Great ! Glad you got it done. Thanks for watching 👍
@@themechanic6117 Nice Video. Wish you had done one on changing the rear pads.
@@themechanic6117 56o88yyb8j.8.
Exactly when I began doing my own break pads the last time I brought my Corolla for service they tried to get me to have them do it at $300 for the front and $350 for the rear I was like yeah 🖕and walked out 🤣 I did the front break pads in about 40 mins.
@@KonohazFinest There ridiculous prices and attitudes motivate DIYers,
i would never thought I could do this until watching this video!!!! i will be doing this job myself and saving a few hundreds dollars!!! thanks!!!!!!!
Quote from mechanics two front rotors and pads $475/ wheel. '14 corolla s. I bought these parts for $175, better get it done myself this weekend.
Thats crazy!! I wish i could charge that much
Best step by step with 0 bs. I believe anyone with at least basic tool sense can and should do it by himself/herself since even the mechanics charges left and right just for the pad replacement and dealerships are ready to rob you!
Update: I finally threw away the lemon pads I was sold by the Baierl Toyota and installed Bosch quitecast following this video and it literally took me about 30 min for the one to understand what's going on and the other one took me about 10 minutes to install the pads. I felt so stupid that time thinking how I wasted about $150 at the dealership for a 20min job with lemon parts!
Hey @The mech a nic, please do the rear drums as well!!! ♥
One of best step by step video’s I’ve watched. Only wish they did such a thorough job when in the shop!
Yep, you can't trust them. If you want it done right you gotta do it yourself 👍
Muy bien explicado paso por paso muchas gracias
First time to change my rotors, your video just made it happen!
Amazing! Good job and thanks for watching
Thank you for amazing video, straight to the point without horse shitting around, great job, sir.
Thanks for watching
Thanks one of the best and most comprehensive videos I’ve seen on brakes.joe from Australia
Thank you
Gonna be my first time changing the brake pads today, this video is very helpful 👍🏼
Good luck 👍
Professional thorough job plus great production quality. Great video, narration etc. Great overall job. A company would do well to hire him for their video presentations.
Great camera angles and focus on the subject. Just what you want when you need to upskill.
Super good video..one of the best brake installs I have seen on here. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the comment
You just got yourself a subscriber! Well done video, short and to the point. Description was very good as well.
Thank you 👍
I just discovered your channel and I am subscribing just as soon as I finish this message. I also made a few videos on RUclips and found out it was harder than I thought. So I really appreciate channels like yours. 👍🏾
Thanks for the video , very good info, need to check my wife's 2014 with 130 k miles , You make it look simple !!
Thanks for watching
Nice video step-by-step you just gave me confidence to do it myself
Great! Be safe
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I do wish you’d spent more time explaining the position of the clips. That’s the only part I really need help with. Again. Thank you.
In my experience the clips are usually made to go on one way. Even if you manage to install them wrong you'll likely run into problems with the pads fitting
Exceptional video! Great tips on cleaning and greasing that I did not know! Thanks for the much needed help!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
Dude this vid was dope asf. Totally loved it. Very explanatory 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. My first time changing my brakes for my 2015 Toyota corrola
Thank you. Appreciate you watching 👍
I saw that "classic reach around". (ha ha) Your videos are a joy to watch!
+wyattoneable LMAO thanks,I tried to make it subtle.
very clear video and safty way to do it . Thank you.
Thanks gor watching
Very good video. To the point and no nonsense. Thanks!
Thanks for watching 👍
It's nice to see a video with a job well done and to use the proper torque specifications I've seen guys tightening bolts with hammers and doing a half-assed jobs but this is a pretty good video for sure
Thank you. I appreciate the comment
Great video, exactly what I was looking for!
Glad the video helped you
A comprehensive guide! Thanks a l ot.
Thank man you make life less complicated
Thanks for watching
Dude, I just subscribed to your channel. Great detailed video! Thanks to you this is pretty much an easy do it yourself type of job that will save me $$$ down the road!
Thanks, I appreciate you watching.
Sweet vid man. U deserve an Oscar! 🤙🏽👌🏽
Lol thank you !
Nice torque specification!!!!
I saw several things here that I haven't been doing that I now plan to start doing!
💪 I'm glad you leaned something new. It's the small things that add up to a good brake job.
What were some of the new things you noticed sir?
This video was very helpful , great detail ❤
You're welcome
Wow....excellent video. Thankful to you
Thank you, I appreciate the comment 👍
Really good this way is way easier, Thanks, man.
Thanks for watching
Thankyou great video, you make me feel confident in doing my own brakes, it actually looks very easy
It is easy. Just make sure to gollow the steps
THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, I LIKED SO MUCH. THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS. MIKE
Thank you
Thanks for the video. Good explanations and easy to follow.
Thanks for watching
Nice video, very detailed. You do nice work!
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for doing this video!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for your video. It helps a lot.
You're welcome
Just got done with doing my front brakes on my 2013 Corolla. Great explanation, conscise steps and really appreciated the torque numbers as well. But my rotors were rusted solid to the hubs. I had to use a propane torch to heat them up, pound with a hammer and then they came off. But
I found out that 8 x 1.25mm worked on my brakes drums and rotors.
Thank you . i wish i could remember the bolt size. I just found one in my garage that fit . yes something i have to do the same to get rotors off. Pentrating fluid,heat,air hammer
I used 8mm thread bolts
Aaron John seems like 8mm bolts are the standard size, it’s what I used after giving up with the sledgehammer
thank you very much. very informative ,thanks.
New subscriber nice video nice camera angle everything was well put. Bravo will be checking in for more content 💪🏿
thanks sir
Great video Sir, great tips !!! Keep up the good works !!! Cheers !!!
I'm back The Mechanic. I wanted to hop up on here and give an update regarding my 2013 corolla S and the death wobble. I had a feeling that it was more serious then just a bad wheel bearing and hub issue. So with further investigation turns out that it is a bad rack and pinion. When you have a lot of play in the steering wheel and wandering at high speeds and then the death wobble with those factors in the equation is a #1 indication of a bad rack and pinion.
Golden video dude... 🙏
Thanks for watching
The best video! Thanks
You're welcome
This video was amazing and you are so informative and helpful with all your tips and information!! 👏👏 Thank you!! One quick question, when you compress the piston isn't a good idea to open up the brake reservoir??
You can if you want but its not necessary. Ive never had a problem with not opening the resevoir
one of the better ones , good video
Thanks for the tutorial !! Very Helpful !!!
Excellent video!!! Just wondering should I remove the brake reservoir cap before I compress the piston? Thank you! 😊
I love you! I didnt know that trick with the flat head I would just use a c clamp.
Thanks for watching 👍😊
Good video. Looks like this guy has experience..
I do a ton or brake jobs..
Awesome thank you
Great job. Thank you very much!!!
Thank you 👍
You forgot to tell them to pump the brakes to push the caliber piston back out...before they drive off
VERY GREAT JOB PERFECTLY
Thank you
What kind of drill and attachment did you used ? I’m wanting to get one
Professional video
Very thorough, thank you.
You're welcome.thanks for watching
Excelent tutorial, just a question you mentioned grease (green) for the calipier pins, while other people use silicone . Which one is better?
Die electric grease is fine for the pins, you have to be careful what you put in there. Not any grease will work
Superb!
Thank you
Thanks for information 😊
You're welcome
thanks
You're welcome
I put new clips and pads in.....they were super tight to put in even after greasing. I went back to the previous clips and the brakes went in much easier.
The pads coming out where in there very tightly..
Clean the rust off the caliper braket where the pads go. The pads should move freely. If they're tight you have to remove them again
Thanks!🙂👍
Great explanation Sir 😉👍
I muted the sound of the video because I was feeling chill on my teeth.
Yeah sorry about that. Wasn't my best idea.
The brake pin lube and pin boot must be according to specification. The caliper should slide smoothly. Use toyota grease expensive but do not allow the boot to swell.
thank you. nice video
Thanks for watching
What is the size of the bolt you used to remove the rotors?
Will the fact that i didnt add any grease at all when replacing the pads cause a griding noise? Im gonna have to rechek mine tomorrow and grease up all those bolts
Thank you so much for the video, mech! Do you think all this would work on a 2019? Or at least, does it use the same parts you bought?
outstanding.
Thanks for watching
I want to thank you a lot for the video, made changing my one a lot more easier and really boosted my confidence. I seem to getting some noise from the brakes and rotors, does anyone think that it could be the dust guard rubbing on the rotors? I would like to know if I did anything wrong.
Yes, always check to make sure the dust guard isnt touching the rotor. Once in a while it happens to me too.
@@themechanic6117 thanks for the quick response. Love the content.
Thank you
Thank you for valuable information.
I seen some other videos were lubricate brake pad side that attach the bracket. Would you recommend it ?
I never do that. Where ever you apply grease it will attract dirt and debris which can lead to problems. When you buy a car brand new there is no grease on the ears of the brake pads
The small part missing on top of each brake pad it is really necessary? My mechanic put the old ones in my new brakes but I guess that is the reason is making a noise because he tried to adjust it but now the noise is back.
Put a time stamp so i can see which part of the video you're talking about.
Thanks I just saved myself $100 in labor cost I did it myself
Good job. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing. Wondering about those pads, they looked like there was plenty of material on them(?)
The rotor had grooves in it as I showed in the video. Once that happens the pads and rotors are no good and it all needs to get replaced
@@themechanic6117 yeah. Best to be safe. Any idea what causes those grooves?
Rust and things getting trapped between the pad and rotor. Also calipers that aren't working properly can cause uneven wear
Great Video!!!! The best i have ever see it!!!!
Thank you. I appreciate the comment . 👍
Great video. One quick question should you remove brake fluid filler cap before compressing the piston back in
Some people say open bleeder screw before pushing piston back in to avoid forcing fluid back through the system
You can remove the cap if you want but its not necessary. Ive done hundreds of brake jobs with out removing the cap and without opening the bleed valve without any problems. In fact people who dont know or have the tools to bleed brake lines actually cause their brakes to stop working because they open the bleed valve when it wasnt necessary in the first place. Ive had plenty of cars get towed in because people open the bleed valve while doing brakes and cause more problems.follow what i did in the video and you'll be fine. The video is simplified so people can easily and successfully get their brakes done.
@@themechanic6117 good to know. I’ll consider this when doing the brake job
@@themechanic6117 any after market brands you recommend for rotors and pads. Thinking of going rock auto but don’t want to go too cheap
From rockauto i always buy raybestos coated rotors (corrosion resistance) and wagner/ac delco/or akebono brake pads
My lower slide pin with the bushing on it was also tough to get out. Either the bushing swelled or the bore isn't wide enough. That pin should slide easily
If there's rust in there make sure you get it out and cleaned
Good work! I have a 2013 matrix. I believe you need a "cube" special tool and rotate the rear brake piston in?
Yes some rear calipers need a special tool like that to rotate them in
You can use pliers
I have used the ends of that caliper pusher like a flat screwdriver lol 😂 for the rear brakes that rotates
I do have one question why did you slow mo the video when you sprayed the rotors? 😅 it’s not a bad thing or anything I was just like “what made him do that” 🤣 great video tho
If we just replace brake pads, then do we need to remove bracket to clean, and lubricate?
I did my 2--5 Hyundai by remove the caliper and simply clean, lub, and replaced the pads without remove the bracket.
I guess it is better to clean it too but taking a little more time.
Removing the bracket just makes cleaning easier if your only doing the pads
Excellent video bro👍
Thank you
Amazing amazing AMAZING video
Thank u
You're welcome.thanks for watching
Thank you so much for a great and one of the BEST VIDEO, I really appreciate. When you removed old PADS, Each pad has a little Click to be connected to the backing plate, you didn't use them for new pads, Is there not any problem with pads inserting to backing plate ? Please advice. Thank you brother and god bless. Mike
If the new pads dont come with a shim then i dont use them
Just wondering why there was no clips on the brake pad? I made the mistake when I bought a new clip and bushing set and I put 2 sets of clips on the brake pad and when I got to the other side I realized there was only one clip for the top of each pad so I watched your video and I didn’t see any clips on your pads.
I can't remember. Not every brake pad set comes with clips, sometimes the clips just don't fit , or I may have forgotten to install them. I can't say
I believe you meant you only need to take the bracket off when you're changing your rotors
In the video i said the bracket only needs to come off if you're changing your brake pads and rotors . I could have worded it different but i wasnt wrong. 👍
@@themechanic6117 to just change the brake pads you don't have to take the bracket off just unbolt that bottom bolt but you have to take the bracket off to change the rotor
I meant it in a way if you need to change pads+ rotors. I even mentioned at the beginning of the video in order to change the pads you just have to lift the caliper up like i showed. Again, it was poor choice of words but i would think its simple for people to understand what i mean..
Do you have the torque value for the rear 2017 Corolla? Great video by the way. Helped a lot.
So if I'm just changing the brake pads all I gotta do is basically loosin up the bottom bolt lift the caliper and swap out the old brake pads for new. Right?
Id suggest checking the grease in the slide pins and cleaning what you can but pretty much yes , dont forget to push in the piston and its that easy
The mech a nic Omg Thanks for the fast reply. Dude your vid is the best video on RUclips. Thank you so much ❤️. Going to do this right now.
How about Sienna hybrid 2021 ?
awesome video. what kind of software do you use for editiing videos? thanks
Thank you.I was using kinemaster to make this video
My drivers side wheel is making a clicking sound. It isnt the cv joint i guess its the brakes. I havent been able to take the wheel off yet to see. Ot has 100,000 miles on the original brakes so i figured its time
Super helpful. Thanks man!
No problem. Thanks for watching 👍
