I needed the help of a breaker bar to take the 17mm bolts off the mounting bracket. Didn't take much effort with the breaker bar, but I couldn't budge it with a regular wrench. Also, when removing the 14mm caliper bolts, I had a problem with my 17mm crescent wrench being too wide, so I had to go buy a thinner one. I've never had an issue with a crescent wrench being too wide, but I did here. Great video, by the way! Helped me a ton!

Why not use the two screw holes on the rotor to remove the stuck rotor? What if someone wanted to use their old rotors? I can't believe no video on youtube explains this obvious feature.
Other people have asked about the bleeder being open to press the piston in. What kind of damage can be done to the anti lock brakes if you do not open the bleeder valve? I have never done this when changing brakes and have not had any problems. Is this specific to Toyotas?
Same here i never open the bleeder when compressing the piston but its good to do so to keep dirty brake fluid from going back into brake reservoir its just preference.
Nobody who’s actually a mechanic will open the brake line which can potentially cause air to enter the system. Don’t do that. Never let the caliper hang from the rubber hose, support the weight by hanging it. Obviously this lady only represents why my wife doesn’t work on my cars and trucks. 1A Auto needs a better instructor!

I generally never open bleeder valve only when I need to bleed the brakes, opening the wheel bleeder valves will let air into the system I only pop the master cylinder cap when doing brakes & add fluid if needed.
I did this job on 2007 Lexus ES350 which is same as Camry. I am not sure why but I could not install the pads with the indicator clip on. The indicator clip is way too strong and refuses to get into the slot no matter what. I tried many times and finally had to give up and installed the pads without them.
I guess you missed the class where they told everyone to NEVER hang the caliper by the brake line. Always use a hanger or bungee cord to prevent damage to the brake line.
how important is it to open the bleeder nut,, will it damage the anti loc system if i just push the piston back in with a c clamp to allow for new pads without doing that ?
@@1AAuto but what can happen to the ABS if the bleeder screw isn't opened and the cap on the brake reservoir was taken off instead to compress the calipers?
Anyone else get a high pitch squeal when you installed this set? Followed all directions and even followed the other video on "which direction to install Slotted/drilled rotors" Thoughts?
I just purchased same racing rotors and sticker on them says "front passenger side" and slots directed to wrong direction. Where slots supposed to be directed?
Hey guys I just replaced front rotors of my Camry what I noticed there is one spring from the brake pads was missing would there be any trouble if there is only one spring instead two. Thanks
If it is the spring that separates the two brake pads yes and no... All it does is keep random vibrations from happening but you can goo without them too
I almost always bleed the brakes anytime I do a brake job out of habit but in reality you could just open the cap on the brake fluid reservoir and be okay
I did exactly what you did and funny thing is my car has the same type of rotors , and it keeps making this grinding noise and it’s sucks , here did the whole thing and nothing , any help ?

This is a good video of the whole process, Watch my video ruclips.net/video/JEKkRAdARsU/видео.html if you just want to see how to change the brake pads right quick.
Every single video for the front brakes has the small clips/wear indicators on different. Some specifically on the top on the outer and bottom on the inner, some both on top. I thought it was top on outer a d bottom on inner
It is gravity bleeding; The aster cylinder is at a higher point than the piston, so the brake fluid will flow downward. You can actually DIY bleed the entire system this way, as most every car the master cylinder/reservoir are at a higher point than the pistons at the calipers. The system isn't under a vacuum either, so there is no way for it to "suck" air into the system.

+Master Yes, per our warranty, the defective parts need to be returned after replacements are received. Once we receive the defective parts, the warranty transfers onto the new replacement parts.
Why would they put the red pads on? If I remember correctly the green pads are for the street and the red ones are more for racing which means they take longer to work properly. You need heat behind them for optimal braking. I heard many horror stories from my racing days of people putting red ones on street cars and not having crap for braking. No wonder this person had new pads put in. I would have just slapped new OEM pads onto those rotors and rolled with that. Unless the rotors are warped or too worn there is no need to do pads and rotors if the pads are worn.
Never get brake products from A1 Auto I ordered brake pads and rotors from A1 Auto for my 2015 Toyota Camry my vehicle started to ride like absolute garbage the brakes were grabbing and have never stopped until I bought a new pair from AutoZone yes I said it I I've been shaking changing brakes for decades now and these are the worst breaks I have ever dealt with
No, but if you don't install it, you'll have no warning before the pad material completely wears down and then you'll have metal against metal. that's dangerous and could cause a lot of damage to all the components if that happens. But all it does is make it squeal so you know its getting close.
I've owned a Camry with the 268 HP and 6 speed transmission for 2 years. This thing is faster than my 1969 Mach 1 Mustang with the V8 rated at 300+ HP! Just sayin...
I'm confused as to why this is funny to you. Drilled and slotted Rotors improve braking performance period, on any car.... The whole point is to lower the amount of space it takes to slow down to zero.

Went straight to comment section after seeing caliper hanging, not disappointed 😂. Anyway it's too light of a caliper to do any damage.
Are you really supposed to open the bleeders to compress the caliper? I've always been told not to unless you plan to rebleed the system.
