Just a quick video showing how I changed the Front Brake Pads & Rotors on a 2018 Toyota Rav4 XLE. I believe that this is the Made in Japan version with the larger 296mm or 11.65" rotors.
Toyota manufactured this vehicle with two different sizes of front brake rotors:
275mm or 10.8" Rotors are on vehicles that were made in Canada or China.
296mm or 11.65" Rotors are on vehicles that were made in Japan. (And on XLE AWD models)
The brake pads are different as well. Please confirm the size you need before ordering the new rotors and pads. Some auto parts distributors and vendors may have the different sizes categorized differently, i.e. by the trim etc. It helps to provide the V.I.N. number to make sure you get the correct parts. I still recommend taking off a front wheel ahead of time and measuring the rotor diameter before ordering the parts.
The process is the same to change either size rotors and pads.
Tools needed:
14mm socket and/or wrench for caliper slide pin bolts
17mm socket and/or wrench or breaker bar for caliper bracket bolts
Flathead Screwdriver or pry bar for prying the caliper piston back in.
A C-Clamp or caliper piston compression tool works fine too.
Torque wrench
Silicone Brake grease
Medium strength thread locker
Small Sledge Hammer
The torque specs I found online are:
25 ft. lbs for the caliper slide pin bolts
72 ft. lbs for the caliper bracket bolts

I've watched about 10 videos on replacing pads and rotors on a Toyota Rav4 and this is the best by far!

@DantheFixitMan Год назад

Thank you for the nice comment. It means a lot to me. Take care, Dan the Fix It Man

@kennyJ605 5 месяцев назад

Watched several videos before changing my Rav4 brake pads. You were the only one to mention the difference in size of the rotors and pads for vehicles manufacutered in Japan. I had the wrong pads. Thanks.

@ScrappyDoGooder 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for this really comprehensive full detailed repair! Camera angles were on another level too.

@tommak6516 Год назад

Best video for this I ever saw. You include some really important info others do not. Thanks.

@jollytime0811 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Sir for your video! Followed along when doing my daughter's Rav4 and everything went smooth. A small issue I had was when I was slowly compressing one of the pistons, it started to balloon slightly. Took a small flat head screwdriver, gently lifted the piston's fold around all the edges to let the air out, and it compressed perfectly. A little tip in case anyone runs into that issue, might save you from messing up the piston.

The best video on this I've seen yet. Very detailed. I just changed the front pads on my friends 2018 rav 4 and man it was a pain! The new pads did NOT want to slide into the channels. I did end up using a similar technique that you used here and was able to get it done. However, I did notice that those slide pins were pretty stiff, but when I attempted to pull them out I notice the boot stretching and worried I would damage it, so I just tried to spin and push them in and out to get them to move better. That worked, but they definitely didnt move as smoothly as the ones you had here after cleaning them. *My biggest concern though* is, she just told me that when she brakes, there is a pretty loud rubbing/grinding noise. Not like metal on metal grinding but almost like dragging something across concrete. I hope that makes sense, I dont really know how to explain it. I told her that sometimes that can be caused by the new pads needing to "settle in", but with how much trouble the pads gave me to put in and the stiffness of the slide pins, I'm concerned it could be something else... They didnt do this right after install when I drove it around the block a couple times, but it was kind of wet outside from it raining and that's probably why. Do you think this rubbing/grinding noise when she brakes is more likely the new pads needing to settle in, or do you think I should take them apart again, clean everything better, and see if that fixes it? Thanks!

@DantheFixitMan 2 месяца назад

I would take off the wheels and see if you can figure it out. If the pads are too tight, they may be binding up. I would probably take the pads off too and clean the slide pins and make sure that the hardware is all clean and fully seated. I hope you’re able to get it sorted out without too much trouble. Best of luck to you, -Dan

@BipolarBLKSheep 2 месяца назад

@@DantheFixitMan thank you sir! I’m trying to talk her into making the drive back so I can look at them again. When it comes to brakes, I feel like it’s one of the last things you want to be any kind of unsure about.

@basedwalnut3937 2 месяца назад

I agreed to change my mother in laws brakes and rotors because the dealership quoted her 1k. Thank you for the video!

@DantheFixitMan 2 месяца назад

You’re welcome! Happy to hear that you were able to help her save some money. Take care, -Dan

@cambridgetate Месяц назад

Lots of good little tips. Thanks for making this video

@47plymouth 4 месяца назад

The size of the front pads is tied to the trim level. I think XLE, Limited and Platinum have the larger pads/rotors. The LE has the smaller pads/rotors.

@gerardoroque5977 Год назад

This was a great video thanks for your time and knowledge brother

@lanzotv 6 месяцев назад

You made that look easy my friend!

@jgaudio69 Месяц назад

Does it matter the way the clips go. I just replaced all pads and rotors and now I have a vibration when I hit the breaks

@dougholdt9130 4 месяца назад

Great video! Couple questions: how do you know if the rotor needs to be replaced vs having it “turned”? And do you need to “turned” it every time if the rotor doesn’t need to be replaced?

@tankimus 9 дней назад

thanks boss, whats your front jack point?

@mohdibrahim1350 2 месяца назад

Thanks sir. Same problems, same carI so I just did it like yours

@JasperJokerII 6 месяцев назад

There are two shims for each pad in the front. The rubberized coating do not go against each other

@uaksz555 14 дней назад

Why does the "wear" clip goes on the top of pad?

@jgeyer66 3 месяца назад

That was really helpful-thanks!!

@Ml4470 10 месяцев назад

Dan, What are the little clips that attach to the pads? In having issues trying to install the pads with them on. I noticed in this video yours were not installed on the pads you replaced. Are they necessary? Great video. Thanks.

@BipolarBLKSheep 2 месяца назад

To my knowledge, based on another video I saw, they are meant to help the pads stay in place when going in reverse. Without the clip, the pad may want to shift upward and cause some noise or wobbling. I've also heard that they will rub when the pads get low, indicating its time to change them.

@oi32df 9 месяцев назад

Bravo excellent tutorial without stupid music . 2-3 little things : It's preferable to clean the slide pin holes before re-greasing the underside of the spring clips and when using the rotary wire brush be careful of the rubber boot of the slider pins. Nothing will happen if you strip everything first.Simply keep in mind where each piece is going with the # engraved in the casting as position reference.

@captjaneway3 9 месяцев назад

The pads are supposed to have spacer clips that mount to the top and bottom of the pad and lay flat against the front of the rotor to keep the pads properly spaced.

@robertwalton1054 Месяц назад

Can you use brake lubricant for the caliper slide pins?

@DantheFixitMan Месяц назад

Yes

@baselkayrout9820 2 месяца назад

Great job.

@DantheFixitMan 2 месяца назад

Thank you!

@chrisp7729 4 месяца назад

Do not grease the slide clips. The grease will hold dirt preventing the pads from sliding properly. Those clips are stainless to prevent rust until the pads wear out. One of the most common mistakes DIYers make.

Tanya Harding 😂😂 spit my drink out 😂

@thinhnguyen9929 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for your helpful video. I have a question that it is necessary to change both pads and rotors together? Or brake pads only?

@DantheFixitMan 5 месяцев назад

It depends on the wear or surface of the rotors. You can just replace the pads if you prefer.

@greggkorslin793 5 месяцев назад

Great video...but could you please help me out? I need to know if there is any difference if the rav4 is hybrid...thanks

@DantheFixitMan 5 месяцев назад

I’m not sure as I haven’t done any work on a hybrid Rav4 yet, but if the parts are the same, then it would probably be the same process for a hybrid. You can verify that with an auto parts store or the parts finder for Amazon. Best of luck to you. -Dan

If you haven't found your answer yet, contact Toyota dealership/parts.

@drbrono 10 месяцев назад

Doesn't the Rav4 also have the anti-squeal shims?

@RastaMan3000 6 месяцев назад

hello do you have to bleed your brakes after changing rotors and pads? Especially when changing all 4 ?

@DantheFixitMan 6 месяцев назад

No, not unless you opened the bleeder screw or did anything to possibly introduce air into the hydraulic system.

@jessehernandez2796 4 месяца назад

@fisherbrown903 9 месяцев назад

i dont c u press the piston inside in the video is ok leave the master cylinder close?. open the brake valve will it b better 1/4 turn? will air go inside?

@BipolarBLKSheep 2 месяца назад

I did it with the master cylinder closed. I believe there is a vent on this particular master cylinder lid. Also, if your brake fluid level is where it should be, you can press the piston in without any concern of overflow. However, its good practice to pump the brake pedal to get the piston back into its working position, before moving on to the next wheel. Having all pistons pushed in at once could create an issue, or so I've been told.

@igoris992 Год назад

Do you always need to change the hardware?

@DantheFixitMan Год назад

Most manufacturers recommend replacing them everytime you change the brakes. I usually change them if they come with the replacement pads. I didn't always change them back in the day, because most of the pads didn't come with them. Now that they do, I almost always change them. They do wear out and sometimes will get corroded and rough. The pads need to be able to move/slide freely as they wear down, and the nice new hardware allows them to do that without getting bound up in the bracket. Sometimes I will just clean them up and re install them if needed. Thanks for watching! -Dan the Fix it Man

@frankg6578 9 месяцев назад

The OEM shims are usually a much better fit and quality than aftermarket parts so use your judgement. If the original shims look good after you clean them up, reuse them.
