The man clearly started he is not a mechanic, be gratious enough and elaborate the mans efforts to make this video available.
I just want to point out that he clearly said he is not a mechanic and most of you emphasized on his mistakes, really? I want to ask all of you that made these kind of comments one question how many are real mechanics, certified mechanics I mean? There are mannesrs to state other people.s flaws in a constructive way. I am going to level with you and give a spoonful of your own, just look at your comments, some of you can’t even spell. In conclusion next time you sweep the stairs start at the top
didn’t resurfice the brake rodors
we own one and it is better then 80% of the cars out there so
Or, can use a flat bent head screw driver and squeeze piston in while caliper is still in place, then take off bolt and wallahhhhh..
@ 3:01, instead of propping up the caliper compressor with a socket, you can span the old, dead brake pad over the cylinder in the caliper. it also compresses it more evenly than the concentrated pressure point of a narrow clamp or compressor.
He did it wrong he was suppose leave the metal shims on the break(s) pads and place grease on shims then place the caliper back on.
Hey I think you replied to the wrong person.
Replaced the pads with BIG mistakes, the grease is not for the pads, it is for the back calipers that slide in and out to keep them moving. when he was cleaning with brake pad cleaner he should have cleaned more from the back also. if the grease melts it will go on the rotors and between the pads and rotor that is bad. secondly the pads had metal plates that he took off to apply grease. those metal plates should go over the pads like there were there. Do not post wrong instructions video.
damn could have saved myself a good bit of money. and time this weekend. If i still have this car when its time to change pads again, im gonna atleast try to do it myself. dont know about the shoes in the back though
I will be changing the brake pads of my 2008 corolla, and this video really helps, thanks for sharing. what’s the reason again on why put grease at the back of the pads? my pads came with shims that are not yet installed on the pads. should i install the shims on the pads after putting grease?
OK. But in this video I didnt see you put ANY shims, neither new nor old. If I’m wrong than excuse me!
A lot of newer pads don’t come with any shims because they are not needed. If they come with new shims I’d use them and if they don’t I wouldn’t use the old ones.
Does anybody have an idea why author didn’t put back an anti-squeal shims that he removed before lubricating brake pads?
I understand that everyone has a different idea about how to do any job on a car “the right way”. But I wish you had at least mentioned machining or replacing rotors and also talked about bleeding brakes. Good video though and I’m sure it will help a lot of people out.
Great video! Very informative. I’m about to change the pads on my fiancée’s 06 Corolla as well. Only tip I would add for people is if you had your brake fluid topped off when your pads were worn down, when you compress the piston back into the caliper there may be excess fluid that overflows the brake fluid reservoir. Just keep an eye on it when you do that step.
Is she still your girlfriend?
looking for how to adjust hand brake on corolla verso any one help ? thanx
thanks for the video.
THANKS FOR POSTING VIDEO! no one has made simple video on 06 corolla…. leaving the top screw loose is smart because everybody removes them than use something to hold them down…. as others said yeah the metal part is shime and shouldnt come off, as far as I know doesnt hurt anything if you do tho ….a+ job
wonderful. thanks a lot
Hysterical. Thanks for the video. It helped me save money.
Clarification. I called the car a piece o’ crap because it belongs to my gf, not because it is a Corolla. This car is abused more than a truck stop restroom. Will be lucky to see 200k.
How dare you. The Corolla last longer than any car on the road with the fewest miles. I have owned two and they both lasted me 10 years each and went over 200,000 miles with very few problems.
should bleed the brake fluid to make sure no air is in the system
yes he took off the shim it is necessary to prevent brake pad sticking to the caliper
I think that the shiny thin metal plates he took off the new pads also serve as warning tabs that rub on the rotor and make a grating noise when the pad is nearly worn down. Good lighting and camera.
You should A-L-W-A-Y-S turn the rotors or replace them depending upon thickness. No, do not use lube on back of silencer shim – just on pad ends and caliper slide bolts.
not to bad of a video. but i suggest u get a torque wrench when tightening the bolts through out the whole process you do not want them coming lose or breaking if they are too tight or too loose. and yea your suppose to leave that plate on.
those plates that he removed are anti-squeek plates/shims and should be left on. that is why they come with the pads.
