Changing Toyota Tundra Front Brakes in 10 Minutes!

At 42k miles the front brakes have given up the ghost in my 2018 Tundra. I can't stand squealing brakes so I got to work swapping them with some centric pads/rotors from tire rack.

Hands down one of the better installation demos on Youtube, excellent job!

First time doing my Tundra's brakes. They are a little different than my wife's Rav4. Thanks for the video, it made the job easier. BTW, I didn't have to remove the speed sensors, just opened the clips holding the wire and removed the brackets, then put the caliper on a 5gal bucket.

Excellent video. I get tired of longwinded videos of guys who just ramble on. This was on topic, informative and to the point.

Nice straight forward video. Don't be scared to torque fasteners to manufacturer's specs. I have to do brakes on my Tundra the locations of sensors and connectors is helpful. Thanks

Good vid, to the point and clear visuals. Love our Tundra

Awesome video! I’ve done brakes before, several times. But I wanted to see a video in case I ran across something complicated. I know some manufacturers make some vehicles a nightmare with their engineering. You did a great job explaining this video and the angles are perfect. I viewed a few other videos before watching yours and I couldn’t finish them. Some say tutorial yet they already have the job partially done or won’t show you how they installed or uninstalled something. It defeats the purpose of a tutorial. Anyways. Thank you! Lol

I was laughing today as I suffered trying to get the pins out. I wondered if you were having a little fun saying they would slide right out. Then I realized some people live in the south! They weren’t going anywhere. My solution was new calipers. Worked like a charm, cost a bunch of money, saved about 4 hours of my Sunday. Great video though, thank you! Helped a ton.

Great video. I advise checking the brake fluid level in the master cylinder before pushing the calipers back. It it's at the max level, you may have overflow from the master cylinder from too much fluid. I usually use a cheap turkey baster to remove some brake fluid before starting. Then, I top it off after the job with new fluid. Thanks.

Reality: The pins did not just, come right out, nor did the caliper bolts

Excellent step by step, even for someone who has done the job more than once, great detail and explanation

[Ian-Earle]

Doing front and rear this video helped me so much hope everything goes smooth just finished the front gotta do the rear

Great video! If you live up north or somewhere with harsh winters, prepare for the pins to not just slide right out. I recommend getting the replacement pins from AutoZone when you purchase the new pads and rotors. My top pins weren't horrible but the bottom ones were terrible. Spent an hour getting one out. Also recommend getting a set of punches to help hit the pins out... Unless you want to just purchase another caliper. Steps are spot on, but process can take significantly longer depending on your weather/rust conditions.

Thank you for the Video. Can not believe how simple this design is.

[phlyingphetus]

Got the saftey flops on!! Good video, thanks!

[jonathanbrwn]

Thanks man just followed your video step by step, even had a few paint buckets laying around to set my caliper on!

[ALNTV]

Excellent tutorial! I’m not all that mechanically inclined, and depend on videos like this to allow me to do my own work and not get price gouged! Thanks.

1) You don't have to remove the calipers. 2) remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder before pushing the pistons back in the caliper. 3) Bleed the brake and top off the master cylinder.

Depending on the brake pads manufacturer, it will have some squeal tabs. Just small metal tabs that will contact the rotor when the pad wears down. Those go on the inside. Took me a minute to figure that out.

Thanks for sharing! Your a great instructor.

Clean video and helpful. Awesome video!
