For anyone else that watches this tutorial, make sure that when you reassemble everything and put the new brake pads in their place you also remember to put the break pad pins back in place to secure the two pads. (The thin wire pins that go into the tiny holes in each pad, that’s important!)
Those thin V shaped wire pieces are actually there to push the pads away from the rotor, not to secure them in place. They make sure that the pad does not contact the rotor when you aren't braking. I've only ever used them once in my life, and they were more of a pain to deal with than they actually helped (thus why only once). Obviously they do help reduce noise, but they are not crucial. But if you have them, why not put them on! But good luck keeping the pads in when trying to put the caliper on... :)
10/10 content as usual. Thanks for teaching me about the caliper pins. You’re the best. Your videos continue to help me maintain and repair my 1997 Corolla.
Bro, you're a life saver. I too have the 1995 Corolla (a hand me down car) just the nonwagon version. I've been trying look up how to change the brakes for god knows how long now and I did not want to spend too much money going to Goodyear knowing that I could do the job myself. Thanks again!
Thanks, I just bought a 95 Corolla for $300 and the only things it really needs are the wheel bearings in the front (now through this video I see what type those bearings are) and the front brakes needs to be done (again through this video I know what size of sockets to get since I don't have the money to buy a whole set of sockets). Yeah for $300 I got a decent car and it only has 100k on the odometer, the car is barely broken in. Oh eventually I will have to do other things if I plan on keeping the car, but being 51 its the last I should ever have to buy if I maintain her
Glad I was able to help! These card are very easy to work on and with a basic set of sockets you can take the whole car apart! Brakes are easy to do but be ready to have to buy new calipers. I know it doesmr have many miles but if it sat for a while then the calipers may be no good. But hopefully you get lucky! As for the wheel bearings they're not very difficult to do but they are tedious. Good luck on the car and indeed it's barely broken in. Take car of her and she'll take care of you! Change the oil often, 4-5k miles, that's the best thing you can do to it.

It'll last you a good 30 years+ those things go up to 800k mile with minor maintenance (my co-worker/friend owns one with a little over 840k she got it from her dad after he past away 4 years ago past down to her, in which it was bought brand new, still runs like brand new,a t that time it was at 300k+ she daily drives it to and from work every where possible actually)...
Good video, man. Very thorough. I've found that using a "C" clamp to compress the caliper is the easiest way to make room for the fatter NEW break pads... I'll be changing the Pads, for the 1st time, in my Corolla in a few days.. I haven't seen anyone BLEED the breaks on these videos. IS that NOT needed in the Toyota Corolla?? ANyone?
Thanks! If you don't open the bleeder screw and you don't have any air in the system, you don't need to bleed it. If you do open the bleeder screw while pushing back the caliper, then you do need to bleed it. What you do is you finish your brake job, then you go in the car and slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then you go to each caliper and open the bleeder until no air bubbles come out. This is called gravity bleeding. You let gravity pull the fluid out for you. Then close it and go to the other side and gravity bleed that side. Make sure you keep your master cylinder topped off at all times!! Do not let it get below the "Low" mark or you will suck in air and then you need a full bleed. And if you have ABS you're on in for a not so fun adventure to get the air out. So just keep it topped off. You should be all set after this and brakes should feel great! If your fluid is old then you want to flush it. In this case you need a vacuum bleeder or a second person to do a full bleed with you until you flush all the old fluid with new fresh fluid. Look up how to bleed your brakes on RUclips and you'll surely find a video, I recommend EricTheCarGuy's video, or ChrisFix's, or 1A Auto's. Good luck!
I won't be making a video on that but basically what you need is Celica parts. Knuckle, hub, caliper, pads and rotors, as well as possibly a Celica master cylinder and proportioning valve.
Hi.! I also own a corolla.! Our car is 20+ yrs older..Obviously we have to accept that Some components are retiring. My steering pump and steering rack is leaking I've heard that there are repair kits regarding to this.Do you have any idea on how to change it? If you do, could you do a video on how to repair It? A very big thanks if you can mate! I can refer your videos to the group of corollas I'm in.
Hi! I will definitely put that on my list and hopefully once the summer comes I can get that done. My power steering pump is also leaking pretty bad haha but I've been ignoring it for the past year... but I think it's time to fix it and make a video!
@@AutoFixYT thanks for the quick response! I’m going to look into getting that from my Corolla. I bought rims with old tires ready to paint but I’d want a size bigger. At least with 15s I can go as wide as 205 on the tire width instead of the 185 it has now
Lots of OJT learn-as-you-go instructions. Some good advice like how to lubricate the slide pins. Some bad advice like saying to push in the piston evenly while using a channel lock pliers which squeezes the piston unevenly. I was looking for a video that could tell me how to do the job from somebody who has done it or at least knew how before doing the video.
You can use big channel locks, you can also use a tool called a break pad spreader. They will accomplish the sane result, and as long as your caliper is healthy, channel locks won't hurt it. Positioning the channel locks as evenly as possible will be ok.
I'm not planning on doing that to my car so I can't show it, but all you need are parts from a Celica of the same year range and you're all set. Celica hubs, brakes, master cylinder, proportioning valve, and then a set of wheels to go with the new hubs
@@AutoFixYT I clicked dislike because of that loud sound in the first two seconds of the video. You must respect the ears of your viewers, don't startle us.
No, that is a very bad idea. Vaseline will not withstand heat at all. Make it even slightly warm and it will liquify and come out of the sliders, leaving them dry but also potentially smearing the pads and rotor in liquid vaseline, making them unable to grip anymore. This a very dangerous thing to do and brake lube is only a couple dollars at the local parts store. Brakes can have temperatures up to 200°C, that being almost 400°F. Vaseline will melt between 70°C and 80°C.
Hey man so I accidently open the hose screw and it leaked out brake fluid I believe? I replaced pads pretty much it. Now when I drive I press the brake but there is no pressure. What went wrong?
You got air in the brake system. What you want to do is bleed the brakes. You can do this two ways. If you are alone and don't have amy help, you can do what's called a gravity bleed. Make sure your master cylinder is topped off with fresh brake fluid. Then go to the wheel you worked on and open the bleeder screw on the caliper. Fluid should start coming out. If there is air in the line, it will come out as tiny little bubbles. When you are done, close it off, top off the master if needed, and proceed to the other side wheel and do the same. If you have a friend that can help you, have them pump the brake pedal a few times. After 3-4 pumps, have them hold the pedal while you slowly open the bleeder. Once fluid stops coming out, they can release the pedal, pump again, and repeat the process several times until there is no air in the system. Hope this helps!
@@AutoFixYT thank you bro. I got a question, I'm about to change front struts for my corolla, do I need to add grease on the top part of the struts ? Because I seen that they have grease??
Ok this is the same exact as my cat and your the only person who looks like they know what they are doing do you have a social medias I have questions?
Hey Auto Fix! thanks for the information. I was wondering however, Do we have to remove the caliper guide pins or can we jus keep it on when changing our brakes?
@@tefade2009 well 7 months later I finally saw this comment... yes that size fits perfectly on my car. If you're carrying weight in the back it will rub on the fenders but you can roll the inner lip to fix that problem. Other than that they fit perfectly
what rims are those? I have a corolla and was looking for some that looked good on the car, I have a DX sedan and its the same color as yours and those rims look great
They're Motegi MR7, 16" rims. I found them on Craigslist (funny thing is I had to search "Miata Wheels" to find these, the lug pattern is the same for Miatas). They have a few curb rash marks but nothing I can't fix.
I just saw that you edited your initial comment... so let me add this, just so you know (in case you don't already). Switching to this type of wheels has changed a few things about my car. Also, these wheels are freaknig heavy! I did not expect it to be honest haha. One last thing, if you want to keep the odometer and speedometer as close to perfectly accurate as possible, make sure you get the appropriate size tires, so that the overall diameter of the new rim + tire = original rim + tire. in my case, I have these 16" rims with 205/45, which makes them 0.9% smaller than the stock 14" rims with 185/65 tires. This should help: tiresize.com/compaison/ Done ranting now. The good: - Significantly improved handling (it is so much more stable when cornering, but that's because I also have the KYB suspension in, which is stiffer than the OEM or other aftermarket quick-strut) - Significantly improved traction (the car is now able to brake much faster than before without locking the wheels, and has less wheel spin when accelerating from a stop) - Significantly improved stability at high speeds (It feels way more stable on the highway now) The bad: - Decreased fuel economy (I used to get 35 mpg on average, even high 30s in the summer when I didn't drive it too aggressively, now I get around 30, 31 if I'm lucky) - Increased road noise slightly (I blame the tires for this...)
I might make a better video in the near future. Should be easy though. Pop them out, pop the new ones in, put grease between them and the clipper bracket to prevent rust.
U did gd job; however, U definately SHOULD have show 2 us U put wheel blocker on rear wheel as front wheels are rasied as car will skid backward without wheel blocker dude! Such mistake will cost a lot if not huge in safety n even damage client's car! Also, U should have worn clean brand new plastic saftey glass to show that Ur extremely carful on the MOST precious our human asset that is eye, n VERY good idea to protect Ur precious and precarious human skin by wearing tight plstic glove or other bit more thicker but tight hand gloves should protect precious our skin!, Plus good sold clothing of pans n show to protect from dirty surface, I can C floor is also wet... the list can go on, safty shoe would be bit over kill!
