I am going to go put some front brake pads on My landcruiser. It is so easy. I am going to post, and then time my self, by posting again.


it might take me a while cause im dealing with almost 3 feet tall tires

all you need are Lug wrench, pair of pliers and 2 flat head screw drivers, brake cleaner, and a scotch brite pad.


you pull the wheel

pull the set pin out of the pads

use screwdrivers to push pistons back in the caliper

remove old pad, (clean and take glaze off of rotor)and put new pads in (they have this little window to pull the brake pads through....super cool)

replace set pins

clean brake fluid off drive way

lets see how this goes....good saturday fun, see ya in a few

:thumbsup:

i kinda cheated.... i was a toyota machanic for a while..... iam used to working FLAT RATE. That job only pays like 1.2 hrs and that means using an accuturn brake lathe. I am fast and good.

Toyota out did them selves on that rig......
