I was unaware of the The 8×1.25 trick.
I’m a pretty good parts changer…and that’s about it!
No matter how simple a job may seem…the Guidance and experience of a good mechanic should never be overlooked.
Great Vid !
I watch all of of these !
Will this work on a Prius V? My car has 85000 and the brakes are 1/2 way.
I use copper spray on wheel hub under brake disk. It is thin coat of copper and really prevents rust!
What is your opinion on using CRC Brakleen Pro to clean the rotors and calipers without disassembling the brake assembly? Can we just spray and clean (wipe and maybe brush) the brake assembly after of course removing the tire?
Wayyyy too verbose

Can you use aftermarket pads with the rotors turned, or just changed both together
Love your videos. Regarding disc brake rotors when do we replace rotors?
Quick brake question, AMD….I want to replace the brake fluid in our 2017 but wondering if bleeding is any different with those regen brakes? I know the pump starts as soon as I open the car door so that worries me
AMD you are The Man !

I Have a 2013 highlander 4×4 the parts guy says front calipers are either Japan or American made. How to tell the difference?
Hello there.
I tried looking up your email with no luck.
I'm about to order front rotors, pads, little retaining clips and shims for my 2018 toyota highlander xle awd and would like to know if you could tell me the parts number to the oem parts and not the economy ones. I'm just having a hard time finding those online.
Thanks!
My wife has a 2018 Camry hybrid with 42,000 miles on it. Recently we noticed the brakes making noise and yes one brake pad on the drivers side back was completely worn down. When I checked the brakes all the pads were almost new except one. What could cause thios to happen? One pad on the outside worn bare and the rest in near new condition?
Are the Camry hybrid brakes done the same way as the normal cars?
Great series
Any chance you could do one of these for the drum brakes on a tacoma? Love your channel thanks for taking the mystery out owning a Toyota.
