2003 Toyota Sequoia Front Brakes and Rotors Replacement 1999-2007 (Toyota Tundra Brakes) 

Thank you for the support🙂

Thank you🙂 really appreciate it

Thank you🙂 yea im sure u definitely could👍

@@backyardchevy328 One quick question though before I get started. Someone at work said that I need to bleed my brake lines and to make sure no air gets in them. Is that something I need to be worried about?

@@woodfamily5229 u only have to do that if air is introduced into the system..like say u change a caliper..change a brake hose..or open the bleeder valve and air gets in.

@@backyardchevy328 Thanks again!

Thank you so much🙂

Thats awesome! Great job 🙂👍

Thank you:) yea i should of mentioned it, youll want them on the inner brake pad...for driver like on passenger youll wanna put it on the top inner because of the rotation of the rotor

Yes, it does🙂👍

Well the brake lubricant helps prevent lil squeaks and squeals when u brake

@@backyardchevy328 Thanks ✌️👍

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂 i try to make em that way🙂

@@backyardchevy328 does this sequoia have the upgraded brakes? I have an 01 and I've done the brakes a few times and can't get rid of this shimmy it makes slowing down from high speed. Doesn't do it all the time but does it enough to worry me. Rotars and brakes replaced and it still does it. I know there vehicles have inferior brakes and rotars causing a recall but I don't understand how these were like this from the factory I've heard. Is this going to be a deeper problem most likely

@@IAMINVECTIVE any chance u can feel when u brake at slow speeds, if u notice that the brakes grab and release or steady grab under light pedal..if they grab release then its most likely something related to brakes..if not..then u might check ur bushings on control arm they can also trigger some vibration when braking

@@backyardchevy328 thank you I have thoroughly inspected it I can't see any flaws. I know after a Google search these cars had this issue in 2001 from the factory because the brakes are inadequate causing premature wear and warping of the rotars they recalled them and upgraded brakes to the newer ones from the 02-03 model. It doesn't shimmy or shake at any other speed only about 60mph to slowing down to a stop it will shake really hard and then if I let off a bit and re engage

@@backyardchevy328 it will stop shaking at that point. I'm almost positive it has to be the brakes but it only does it at certain speeds making me wonder. It's been a deep dive and can't figure it out I'll try to make a video of it and load it and see if that helps :) I appreciate your time

Glad it could be of help🙂...thank you so much🙂

Lol yea those brakes went about as low as u can with a lil material still left...thank you🙂

Thank you very much..it really means a lot to me🙂

Yea rust definitely makes everything much more difficult unfortunately

Holy hell this is true. My simple pad job turned into a disaster because of rust. Turned out the rotors weren't good on the back side also. The calipers were rusted so bad the caliper pins had no chance of coming out and the pistons wouldn't return. The metal lines were rusted and broke. The bolt holding the rubber to metal line bracket broke. 5 f******* hours and $500 later, it's done but now I got a ton of air in the lines.

Yea i had done a video on that but for some reason the reassembly file went missing on my memory card so i didnt end up finishing that video..but i will do one soon

You repack your bearings?

It's ready for that. 300,000 miles.

Thank you🙂 really appreciate it

That's great🙂 impressive time, im sure if u have to do em again in the future youll just get quicker at doing em too..great job🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you:) Hope everything goes smooth:)

Backyard Chevy everything went well I thought I put the anti rattle spring in wrong on the 1st side after finishing the 2nd side.. so I took the tire off of the 1st side to check but I had don’t it right.. drove around and it was good

That's awesome glad that everything went well...definitely good that u decided to double check though even just to confirm...thank you for ur support:)

Thank you i really appreciate it

Thank you so much:) i really appreciate the comments and support:)

Well the pins keep the brake pads aligned..but they could cause the brake pads to stick if the pins are bent or corroded to the point the brake pad cant slide back and forth..were both sides on same caliper worn to metal or just one side on same caliper? The pins dont push back the brake pads..a good caliper releases the pistons a lil everytime u press the pedal then let go allowing the rotor to spin freely..but a bad caliper wont let the pistons retract cause theyll stick at that point..so a good way to test this is to press ur brake pedal then let go and spin it if its not 4wd it should spin freely(if not ur caliper is sticking)

@@backyardchevy328 Thanks, this is a great idea. Wish I asked you a couple hours ago. Next time I will try this. Only one pad was worn down. I guess the pins aren't that important. Earlier I ordered some new ones. Thanks for the reply.

@@plutosforest i actually made a video about brake noise where i also explain about uneven brake wear also..if u ever need it🙂

Thank you so much🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂

or just get new ones. rusted are no good mate

Thats great🙂 thank you

That's awesome great job

Backyard Chevy last question, how long should i take it easy on the brakes? & how long can i drive with the new ones on

@@shotbydon651like about a week try to avoid hard braking or hard force...and avoid long slow stopping thatll cause more heat..so u kinda wanna do in middle braking the whole time

Glad to be able to help🙂

Thank you🙂

Always glad to help🙂..thank you, have a goodnight🙂

Yes, they should be lubricated

Yes, u can lubricate em, itll help prevent any vibration noise

Thank you🙂

Thank you for the support🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂

Thank you🙂 appreciate the support🙂

No, as long as u dont introduce air into the system...if u replace caliper or a brake hose or open the bleeder screw then u would have to.

Backyard Chevy okay i really appreciate it man

@@shotbydon651 anytime🙂

Backyard Chevy i also have to bed in the brakes right?

@@shotbydon651 yes that u do..helps ur brakes work better and wear more evenly

Thank you🙂 yea its definitely an important step

I believe they were oreilly's brand...brakebest.

Chief Louie I work at toyota, OEM rotors only work best. I’ve worked aftermarket as well, seen all the problems,,,,, I have 04 sequoia gonna change all my stuff out tomorrow

@@damienbell3155 My OEM didnt last more than 60K before it started warping. Turned it and warped again on new akebono brake pads. Bought centric premiums and now it squeels on reverse but disappears. It brakes great but annoying.

@@chieflouie2821 that is a correct amount of mileage for rotors and pads to last. A lot of factors take into account t hot weather climate Vs medium to cold weather like Alaska. Other factors that contribute is all city driving 50/50% city highway driving and 90/10 % highway to city driving. I could list many scenarios but you get my picture. Other manufacturers pads last 30-40 thousand miles. The size and how much braking also contribute. Typically brakes go out 40,000 to 50,000 if you got 60,000 that’s great. Normally what contributes to a warped rotor is the discard thickness was met and the heat eventually over time warped it. That’s how any warped rotors happen. Typically I’ll see from after market complaints are warped rotors after 6-10 months or complaint of squeal from braking. Toyota has 2 choices a original oem version and a true value version. It’s almost half the price of the oem choice so beware . Sometimes you can get that squill if you drive down a road go about 25-35 mph then in multiple attempts, hard braking it will hopefully take off that smooth surface it’s created giving you that noise. Don’t ride the brakes to a long stop but don’t lock tires where your skidding. Try that approach. Good luck.

@@domreaper5936 Thanks Dom!

Yea they definitely are when it comes to this vehicle...thats good to do especially on those calipers, they hold a lot more gunk in em...i prefer to bleed em separate from the brake pad replacement after verifying brakes feel good.

Thank you:)
