4:30 when the brake squirted
i wasnt a big fan of power stop. My rotors rusted so fast.
Extremely handy since I need to replace my ceramic squeaky pads!
What is the little red LED light that keeps flashing at the wheel hub?
Excellent , thank you
do we really need to change the rotors? I think Toyota design this front brake for u to just replace pads even dont need to take caliber or piston off
Another great 4Runner DIY. Thanks
WOW! thanks bro! we're on the same page. My Power Stop brakes need to go. They have not held up for me. But your vedios sure have helped me overall. I'll be returning to the OEM I don't think you can do better than Toyota parts. Thank you!
You make it look so easy! Did you notice an increase in braking performance over the stock pads and rotors? Breaking seems to be a bit of a weakness on my 2021 4R.
I did this 2 years ago expecting it to be just like my Tacoma- wasted so much time on the 4Runner because I didn't have a swivel joint for my 1/2" impact, of all tools. I had to turn the wheel to get tool clearance- I think there is generally less space in the wheel wells, which is why you have poor turning radius on 4Runner compared to the 2nd gen Tacomas.
You read my mind, man! I have to do this next week and this will be very helpful! Thank you! Can wait for the next one with the rear brakes to come out.
Hope you're not getting a new car. You make the best 4R content! I watch all your vids even if it doesn't apply to my needs b/c it's so informative and may apply down the road.
