Thanks for the video! Here in Canada we never go the landcruiser or the prado models so I recently imported one from Japan. I noticed my brakes were making a little noise and seen the pads were needing to be changed. Your video was step by step and super helpful!
Awesome walk through, thanks for taking the time to post this. Most of the videos show the front pad replacement only. I'm more than confident in how to change them now 👍
Dang, i watched this after changing my pads. I did it the long way took the whole caliper off and pulled them out from the inside. And then searched this thinking there must be an easier way 😂😑
@@RamgotterNucleus hay thanks for your reply. I found out now anyway. They have 2 anti-sqeal plates per caliiper. I was watching the video to hopefully see what order they go in. But I got a manual and it shows the one with the slots in goes against the pad and the solid plate goes over it and goes against the pistons on the caliper. I had a nasty squeal without them when breaking slowly. But has gone now I have put them back in the correct order. Thanks for the help anyway I still found the video helpfull. 😉
So I'll give you my opinion right but this does not make it right I'll tell you the pros and cons : if you press back the brake pistons without opening anything (the loop or circuit is still closed ) meaning no air can get into the system so I myself just pump them till they are firm and you are good to go . Now !! pros: is you don't mess and it's less work and cleanup and some people don't bleed correct and thar can cause bubbles in the system . And it's cost effective right Cons: brake fluid is hydroscopic this means it pulls in water from and surface or substance so depending on when last you changed your fluid out ,it is good to do it every 2 years can v Be extended to 3 or every 72000km , remember aswell as you brake the fluid also gets extremely hot especially at the caliper so that fluid breaks down quite severely, another is when you bleed you can see if the colour is still good or atleast flush out the most degraded section of fluid. I'm going to do my X6 brakes soon and I'll chat about this aswell ,thanx for your comment it's an good one we'll observed and great question 👍🏼
Hi it's been a Year and my apologies I did not recieved any notice of your comment: bit let me answer you . If you replaced new pads then there is no need to replace the rotor if you don't experience shudder when baking (shudder is when you brake and your steering wheel vibrates this is due to warped rotors or even worn tie rods so if you do not experience this I would not fork put the unnecessary cash as rotors are expensive especially if they are vented, slotted and or drilled and the most expensive has all 3 also depending on the material it's made from but I digress let's get back to your pads it can be that the pads someone sold you are cheap and they usually do squel now if you bought expensive ones it is just dirt ,stone ,small piece of metal, sand or even wood that is stuck you can remove the wheel use an hp washed and jet it clean and use some brake cleaner I found that the hp wash usually works fine on its own ,now if it's old pads some pads has a tell tail it's a piece of metal that sticks out a few mills towards the rotor with the friction material and that is to warn you and let you know the pads friction material is low. Thanx for the comment 👍🏼

From Réunion island 🏝
Was not my car sorry only that one
Good stuff - cheers
Thanx alot for the comment
It didn't show fitting the 2 anti squeal plates that fit alongside the pads to prevent brake squeal.
Sorry about that ,we had no issues so I'm not sure I'd it was attached to it already

Great video, thank you. Do you need to re bleed the breaks after or just pump them on and good to go?

Now !!
pros: is you don't mess and it's less work and cleanup and some people don't bleed correct and thar can cause bubbles in the system . And it's cost effective right

What if it’s making that squeaky/screeching noise? Would I need to replace the rotors too?
