I've watched many how to videos on replacing various parts on vehicles over the years, there is always some issue with it, too dark, too light, camera in the wrong place , the person talks too low or you can't understand the language, but this is by far the best one I've ever seen, he didn't just do it and let you watch, he explained it in detail and gave didn't options as well, thanks for the awesome video
Hi Jim - just wanted to say thanks for the awesome video. I replaced my wife's 2008 Highlander rear brakes following your video and it went smooth as glass. I used OEM Toyota rotors and pads and am going to attack the front brakes next weekend - already have the parts and am ready to go. Thanks for posting this - I learned a lot and saved quite a bit of money along the way as well. Take care - Chris.
This is a really good, thorough walk-through for changing rotors and brake pads. Great job!
Like everyone else said, great video. I wasn't going to do the brake job on my wife's Highlander until I watched this and saw how easy Toyota made it. Saved me a couple hundred bucks by doing it myself. Took me about 2 1/2 hours to do all four corners. Awesome pointer about putting the bolt into the threaded hole on the rotor to pop it off the hub. Not sure if my previous vehicles I've done brake jobs on have that hole or not but all I know is I've struggled in the past to get rusty rotors to separate from the hub before. I was even lucky enough to have a right sized bolt for that hole in my spare hardware bins.
Awesome video Jim ... best on RUclips for the Highlander brakes! You saved me hundreds of $ vs. taking my 2010 Highlander LIMITED to a repair shop ... thank you! One comment though regarding the alignment of the rubber plug in the rear brake rotor with the cutout on the hub (start at 14:10 on your video) ... the rubber plug in the rotor actually needs to be lined up with one of the large holes in the hub and not with the cutout on edge of the hub. If the brake rotor is aligned with the cutout on the edge of the hub, the rubber plug on the rotor gets pushed out and will not seat because the rubber plug is positioned over the solid part of the hub rather than over one of the holes between the lugs. Thanks again! --V/R Jon
Jim, you are a rockstar for sharing this knowledge. This is hands down the best video on a full brake job I have ever seen. Well done and thank you so much ! My hats off to you sir, cheers !
Jim you’re the best. Really enjoyed your video. I’ve done lots of brake jobs but lately I’ve been using RUclips to do a refresher before the job when I do a vehicle I’ve never done before. In this case, I’m getting ready to help a family member with their brakes. Your video was very thorough. I especially enjoyed listening to your accent.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching. Accent ? What accent.Lol
That was great! Especially how you swiveled the caliper up out of the way to install those spreader clip-springs! I learned something! Thank you!
You rock dude!!! Got a 2011 & 2012 Highlanders and just did the brakes on 2012 by watching your video, very detailed and informative!!! Kinda awkward using floorjack and jackstands but got the job done thanks to your video!
Thanks Jim for taking the time to post this DIY. Almost wished I still lived in JC instead of Florida so I could stop by your shop after hitting the diner. Let me know when you work on a Porsche 997 Turbo because I have not found anyone else that has made a great, comprehensive and complete video as yours. Also enjoyed hearing the Jersey accent and the horn honking, too. Keep it up.
Great video! The details about lubrication areas and specialized tools used are dry helpful.
Awesome video. I liked how you didn't get wrapped up with specifics on un necessary things but did give details on on important things. Also this video is pretty all encompassing when it comes to changing brakes. They are all different but mostly all the same...now days. Drums or pads. What to grease, what to clean the grease off.
Legend, found some tips the other tutorials didn't cover, e.g. putting the bracket on with one bolt then put the springs back in before dropping the bracket down.
I have 3 Toyota Highlanders , so this video for me. Great video for servicing brakes, very detaled. Liked/ subscribed, Thank You.
Greetings Jim. I just replaced the rear brakes on my dad's 08 highlander. Your video was very helpful however, when I reinstalled the rear rotor, I aligned the rotor's parking brake rubber cap hole with the hub's half moon notch as you mentioned at the 14:10 mark of your video but in my case that concealed the parking brake adjustment so I would not be able to adjust it in the future. I ended up reinstalling the rotor to its original location on hub which I had marked. Just an observation on my end. Thank You Jim.
Jim thank you ! I hate mechanic work but by now I have to do it myself . You really make my life easier! Thanks again!!!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for a thorough video. Very informative.
Hello again Jim. You have this video very well organized and that makes it easy to follow along. I almost wish I had a 2012 Toyota Highlander to work on because after this video I can look like an expert!
Thank you Wyatt.
Great comprehensive video that would help any novice do this job! I would love to see those OTC forks used on a frozen slide pin.
Thank you for your input.To be honest whenever the pins are that rusted I replace the caliper unless the owner don't want to buy the new caliper then I use the forks
Always check the guide pins are sitting right in the calipers, some models have a flat place ground on the pins that only fit one way on the caliper to keep them from rotating. Otherwise, great video.
Thank you for this thorough tutorial!
Hi Jim -
Very good brake job video - you did good job explaining a step by step way to install front and rear brakes .
But when you took your screw driver in the brake caliper to spread the brake pads wouldn't the brake fluid push it's way through the brake line's and into the master cylinder and over flow thus making a mess all over . Shouldn't you of taken some brake fluid out of the master before you did the brake job to make room for the brake fluid being pushed into it then topping off the master cylinder with fresh brake fluid .
By the way you did a good trick of the spreader clips I will remember to do that . Keep your videos coming .
Thank you for your feedback and for watching.
Excellent video, thanks for posting it.
Good trick with the springs. Appreciate the effort.
I hope I was helpful thank you for watching
Great and very detailed, helpful.
Taking off the rear rotor it seems rusted frozen to one of the parking brake drums. Any further tricks to get it off? The bolt trick broke the rust against the hub! I was perhaps too vigorous trying to rock the rotor out/off and a small spring and a shiny silver clip fell out..... Maybe I should drive the car 20 feet with parking brake applied before reattempting to get the rotor off??? -- then I have to figure where the spring and shiny clip came from (?adjustment mechanism?) thanks very much
Wow Thanks this was very informative 👍
Jim I'm starting to enjoy watching your channel more than the other channels i subscribe to.
Thank you for saying so.and fow watching
Thank you Jim this video really helps
Great video! Thanks for doing posting it!!!
Great video! Off to change my brakes with confidence I go! Thanks for sharing =)
Thanks for the video, going to the dealership to buy parts!
what's the size of the bolt that you use to remove the rotor?
I went & bought a few to use in my brake job. The bolts are 8mm x 1.25; they’re a COMPLETE lifesaver, extracts the rotors quickly!
after installing everything when I press brake pedal couple times does the car should be on or off? Thank you for the great video
Should the hand brake be released when replacing the brake pad and rotor?
Do you need to put blue locktite on bracket bolts?
Very good video ... Only thing I seen was a lot of grease on the pad material? Should you have used cleaner on these?
Thanks for watching.
Thank you
I hope I was helpful
Jim,
Do you like 12 pt or 6 point sockets? Great to see the angle towards the street in your shop. Looks like a lively street!
Good question,I use 6 pt almost all the time
What size is the wrench you used at about 44mins to hold the upper caliper bolts when they spin while tightening the 14mm bolts ?
What mm size is the thin wall wrench you use @ 46 minutes of the video to prevent the slide pin from rotating when you tighten the 14 mm bolt for the front calipers? Thx
Hi Jim what brand of rotor did you use?
Jim, did you adjust the parking brake when you were done, or was it not necessary? Great vid by the way, very informative!
This one did not need to adjusted but that was a very good question
Toyota bolt sizes 8,10,12,14,17,19 always FYI great videos Jim!!
Thank you for watching. and your input
What size is that bolt u put in there to take off the rotor
Rj Rj And also where to get it ??
I may need to check my toolbox for that bolt
What kind of bolt? All threads are not the same
Fantastic video. Thank you very much for the clear explanation and camera work. This was really well done and appreciated.
Great video - TY
Hi! what's the name of the lubricant? the grease?
Wheres the opening song from? It kinda sounds like truck driving music
Actually the songs are free from You tube when you edit a video.
Hi! what is the name of the grease?
in which state is your shop located ?
My shop is in New Jersey
+jimthecarguy You got yourself a new subscriber sir. Thanks for the reply. I live in NYC and could use an honest and knowledgeable mechanic. What is the name of the shop so I can Google it.
Thanks again!!

How many miles on this one
This one was very low only around 60,000
I'm pretty sure I can go somewhere and come back to a paused video. :) Saved me $300 from watching tho
Hi Jim what brand of rotor did you use?
I recently bought a similar set. I am pretty sure it is a Centric "Premium" rotor.
