I have watched several videos for a 2003 toyota camry le 2.4 l and yours is by far the best. Particularly the highlightered areas and the camera work was excellent. Thank you
Heyy! just came across your video and I would like to say it was such a informative straight forward and helpful seeing your break down and walk through on this job! all the angels were awesome and the side by side comparison! I have a 2006 Toyota Camry le and it's around 159k miles and still runs good! these old cars always need replacement parts but they still have more life to run! keep up the awesome description, attention to detail, with the awesome clean clear footage! much appreciated :)
Sucks when whoever did your rear brakes on your 2005 Camry LE prior uses the setup for a 2003 or a japan-built model. You get well into the install and realize that the shoes don't quite work with the parking brake and adjustment levers that you have. Also have to swap out the pins the levers pivot on which isn't quite as much of a pain as having to drill an extra hole in the shoe for the little spring that holds the adjustment wheel lever.
@@InsaneOil oh man im pretty sure your channel is the one that suggested the grade 8 full thread bolts. unfortunately ace didnt have but a couple spacer nuts did the trick with half thread bolts but i grabbed 3 full thread grade 5 too and snapped 2 of them and bent the life out of another,it sucked but overall your method was a sanity saver...thanks
I just replaced my 2002 Camry's. That long spring gave me hell. It was really hard to stretch it all the way without dragging the parking brake adjuster assembly with it. I adjusted both sides to the max but still my car moves when in Drive or reverse.
@InsaneOil thank you. I tried. I need to overpull the lever to make it stop. Unfortunately, my new drums didn't come with holes for the adjuster so I had to remove the drum to move the adjuster until the drum didn't go back in and then roll it back a few notches to put it back.
ATTENTION!! I cannot exaggerate the fact that the horseshoe clip should be closed like you have done in this video because unless I didn’t pay attention for long, most videos just tells you to slide in the clip rather than closing, so please, if anyone can skim through other videos regarding Toyotas or other rear brakeS try to comment and get their attention to bring that to detail
theres no other position for the clip. very odd comment in this particular job,theres legit no other position for the clip its either ON or its OFF. you have seen others halfway put it on and you were/are worried it wouldnt he a Given when doing the job? lol i dunno man,i get the mind melting anger of working on squint vehicles,maybe you were frustrated when commenting lol,have an ok day
@@ronniebaker1917 What he's saying is that after you put the horse shoe clip on, you have to squeeze the ends around the stud. If you don't, it can slide right back off while your driving.
@@br5747 thats the whole thing tho,you do Not need to or Want to squeeze the clip at all. if simply scrolling vids and commenting then i can see the confusion but thses clips do Not require a squeeze of any sort. after i seen his comment i got my oring pliers ready and then doing the job i realized dude was FOS. neither side had a clip that you want to or are supposed to alter the shape or tennsion of. when you do yours,you will see what im saying. hey i hope it goes smooth for you too.

Thank you
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
I agree
Dude this video was amazing, it helped me today with my mom's Camry. What an amazing detailed video, thanks so much 👍🏻
Most experienced mechanics in several videos ignore the routing of the brake cable. This is critical! Insane Oil nailed it! Great job!
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your repair.
Great Video!! ANY GOOD Brake Kleen will work as well as a good rust penetrant, as needed.
Very well explained every step. 😊.
Thank you for the comment. Good luck with your repair.

That sounds like quite the dilemma. The vehicle in the video is a 2003 Japan built model.
great video.
woulda been helpful to see a few still photos of the parts placements on the pads but overall great stuff man,ty
Thank you for the comment, I appreciate the constructive criticism, I am always looking for ways to make my content a little bit better.

It might be worth putting the car in neutral with the parking brake off and see if it will roll.

And ima typically dumb so if that’s what’s being said and done, for get it
Thanks for the comments. They are much appreciated. I always try to make an attempt to articulate the details.
