@@5MinuteFixit My brake job turned out awesome. I had the rotors resurfaced and the brakes now have nice smooth, yet steady and dependable, stopping power. Thanks again for the detailed video.
I changed my rotors and brakes on my 2019 Sienna yesterday and every time I brake while going in reverse I hear a loud click/clunk. My wear indicators are on top of the brake pad like they’re supposed to be and I lubed my hardware clips and torqued the slide pin bolts to 25ftlbs and the brackets bolts to 76ftlbs.
Good and clean. Your pad seem in good condition. Anyway saw another video Genuine Toyota brake pad best practice. Surprise Toyota don't recommend lube the metal hardware where the brake pad slide. And they have a specific spot where the black moly apply in between shims and pad. And it's base on shim and pad shape. Interesting.
Hi, I just got front and rear rotors and brakes done by breaks & masters but still, feel like loose not firm, strong or like brand new you think is there something else needs to be done?so I can feel it like brand new brakes.
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and for the compliment and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Great video Pal, thanks. Have a question I notice that you did not replace the rotor with the pads, I know you are not mechanics but I read some recommendations for changing both at the same time, any thoughts?
I think there are many trains of thoughts regarding wether or not to change the rotors at the same time as pads or not. In my opinion if the rotors are still in good shape I see no reason to swap them out. I’ve done this many times on various vehicles and haven’t had an issue. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please check out my other Sienna and Toyota maintenance videos if you are interested! Thank you!
@@5MinuteFixit Nice video, replaced my pads and resurfaced the original rotors after 40k miles and they warped after 3k miles. I recommend going with new pads and rotors at the same time.
@@izzyavakian always buy quality rotors. I just changed my oem toyota rotors at 114k. I never resurfaced rotors. Just pad swapped twice. So he is right. You don’t need new rotors every time swapping pads.
Unfortunately I do not have a video of the rotor replacement. In order to replace the rotor there are two bolts that hold the caliper on (I believe they are 17mm) once the caliper is removed the rotor should slide off of the studs. In some cases it needs some persuasion with a hammer but should come off fairly easily. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up and checking out my other Sienna and Toyota maintenance videos as well! Thank you!
No that shouldn’t matter at all as long as you have the torque set correctly on the wrench it should be accurate. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
They aren't important in terms of braking power or stopping distance, they simply let you know when your pads are getting worn to the point of needing replacement. If you keep a close eye on them you will know when they need to be replaced anyway. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank You!
not a mechanic but in my experience, you don't need to open it. but when I do my brakes I open the brake fluid cap so that it will be easy to compress the piston, I also remove some of the fluid otherwise it will overflow when you compress the piston, once I am done I will top it off.
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already and be sure to check out my other maintenance videos as well!
You only need to bleed the brakes if you change the calipers, or if you are doing a brake fluid change or flush. Thank you for watching! Hopefully this helps!
I feel the braking is adequate but I think it depends on what other vehicle you may be comparing it to. We’ve had ours loaded down with 4 People a roof top box full and the trunk filled up to the windows and it sure feels heavy but never felt out of control or under braked.
@@5MinuteFixit Well my Sienna is imported and I am aware that cars for the american market may have a little bit softer braking. I generally drive Toyota's but they are typically not only for the European market. I did maintenance on the brakes yesterday (cleaning, greasing) and found that the front right rotor on the inside has a strip of a good half inch rust. meaning not the full capacity of the rotor is used for braking. this ofcourse affects the braking experience. when slamming the brakes the braking power is there. it is just in the daily use that I feel they could be grippier. I will get a new set of front rotors and pads and see how it goes then.
today I replaced the brake rotors and pads. on both sides the inner surface was 50-60% serious rust. the pads had indentations from the rust, this explains it all I guess. the previous owner did not really drive a lot with the car. the new hardware is from brembo (so good quality) and after a few minutes drive i could feel the grippier response. will see the performance after the wear-in period, but i have good hopes its going to be really good.
@@thealmightyjensen3367The performance is good now. Brembo brakes are more expensive. for the two front discs and pads I paid around 150 euros. Most money probably goes to the time spend installing them. if you can do it yourself you save a few $$

Those pads looked perfectly fine.
this is invaluable; I'm going to be doing brake pads probably around the spring or summer.
Well done, thanks for your clear concise instruction
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the video helpful!
Bolt is really hard to get out of the front ones without a pry bar and a socket wrench.

if you brake on the freeway the car vibrate, change both the pads and rotor at the same time

Do you have a rotor replacement video, same car, toyota 2019 Sienna?

Would a shorter vs. longer torque wrench make a difference getting to spec?
I see that your torque wrench is longer than mine.
No that shouldn’t matter at all as long as you have the torque set correctly on the wrench it should be accurate. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
What's the liquid you spread on the rusted area? Thanks!

great video, you answer my all question of Bosch brake pad for Sienna.
That’s great! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
7:45 Did you use the old springs? The Bosch kit comes with new springs.
Yes they are the old springs, the pad kit I had didn’t come with new ones. Thank you for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit that is frustrating. I just purchased the same pad kit and it had the new springs.
I agree they should have included new springs.
So no need to open the bleeder when compressing? I’m getting mixed instructions from forums.
not a mechanic but in my experience, you don't need to open it. but when I do my brakes I open the brake fluid cap so that it will be easy to compress the piston, I also remove some of the fluid otherwise it will overflow when you compress the piston, once I am done I will top it off.
You should only do one click when using the torque wrench. ALWAYS
Very well explained thank you

@@5MinuteFixit thanks so much for replying! I really appreciate it
Lot of meat left of the pads you replaced.
How do u get the brake warning off the dash?
The brake warning on the dash usually means that the parking brake is engaged. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching.
I also have this warning, it only appeared after a few days of replacement, how did you solve the problem?
Mine are change this afternoon
Awesome presentation.

Is it me, or is the braking performance of the Sienna generally not so great?

Great😊
Your old brake pads still looks new
Long stopping distance
Your hand is not a hammer. I know it's handy but over time it does damage to hands.
