Informative video, thanks. Just a few side notes (things I ran across): 1)
No need to take the entire caliper mounting bracket off, unless you are
removing the rotor or you want to do the work on a bench (as you did). 2)
Don’t forget to lube the caliper slide bolts. 3) I would recommend using an
old brake pad when using the C Clamp to push in the piston, seems to make
it easier. 4) Use some anti-squeak paste on the back side of the pads,
helps prevent the dreaded brake squeak 😉
very instructive. i have a 2004 camry and replaced the brakes at 25k.
needlessly as they were oe akebono pads maybe half-worn, but i did it
anyway for the experience. thanks for the nice music as well. it gets to
the irish in me.
Sweet accent, like it with the flute music. One thing I’m sure you’re
aware, might be careful to mention. Don’t tighten the lug nuts with the
impact wrench. I would get them close, then make sure to finish manually
torquing them evenly. Newer cars seem to not be so sensitive, but, I had
tire shops warp the rotors on my 1988 Tempo twice when I was in college.
The caliper assembly is made up of two castings. The larger casting houses
the piston and is attached to the vehicle by the brake line. No need to
remove this from the vehicle, but you do need to unfasten it from its mount
and suspend it from the vehicle in some manner. The other is smaller and
fits inside the larger piston housing. It holds the brake pads. This is
easily removed once you have the caliper assembly removed from its
mounting.
Thanks for your video I replaced the front break pads, and I heard sound
after that when I break on it what do u think the problem?
Nice Job… let me know if you need some bagpipe music for your next one.

Why wouldn’t you take out the slide pins before you took the caliper off??
that makes no sence..
Awesome !
Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching!!
Thanx Sir!!!

Thanks your video really helped me out. I started this project and got
stuck. Your video got me right back on track!
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!!
Aye, you’re on to me! I forgot to use my American accent! I live in the US
now.
Very very useful, good job o nthe explainations. Per hpas you can make more
videos on repairing 2007 toyta camrys. Thanks
In this model, there is no need for the slid pins, the small 14mm bolt
attach do the job. I just changed mine and this is what I saw.

I sure will. When something breaks! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Bless your Heart. I’m having problem with my 05 camry shaking when
I brake @45mph. Total miles 68k. Thanks, Have a good one 🙂

good job
Thank you very much for this detailed video. It is much appreciated. I will
save lots of money doing it myself. Thank you!
Very useful video sir
While the casting that holds the brake pads does not have to be removed to
replace the pads, it makes the job much easier.
Thanks for the great comments and thanks for watching!!
Caliper bolts glide pins were not removed, cleaned and new grease
reapplied. S many brakes
You’re quite welcome and thanks for watching!!
Are u Irish?
