Brake Change Tutorial on 2009 - 2019 Toyota Corolla | Rotors and Pads 

Since this video is relatively new, I'll just leave this comment just in case anyone is gonna use this video as a reference point. The video is good, you included about 90% of the important information in the video but there is 4 things you should have included in video just to make sure everyone has a successful job when they're working on their brakes, -First, Use brake cleaner to clean off the grease film off the new rotors before installing them. This grease is used to prevent the rotors from rusting when they're shipped in their boxes. So you definitely don't want to use the rotors when the grease is still on there. -Secondly, Open the top off the master cylinder under the hood before you push the caliper pistons back in, doing this will reduce the chance of you blowing a gasket in the master cylinder which is a headache to replace -Thirdly but most importantly, Make sure you check your guide pins, this means taking it out and inspecting it, they should be moving freely, you shouldn't have used a hammer to push them back in, I honestly think your guide pins are corroded, this will make your pads wear unevenly and cause your calipers to stick. If you ever get the chance, you should re grease them with some silicone paste -Lastly, pump your brakes before you drive off. This will pressurized the brake system to ensure your brakes will actually stop the vehicle when you want it to.

If you need a hammer to drive the caliper pin in, then something is wrong. You need to check the pins for corrosion, added caliper lube or silicone paste to the pin and then inserted it in. Once in, the caliper pins should glide smoothly. You also need to add some brake lube on the part of the brake pads that makes contact with the caliper bracket. No doing so will result in sticky brakes and uneven pad wear.

Also pro tip, turn the wheel so you can get easier access to the bolts and be able to torque them to spec

Nice video, it's clear and well filmed. Sorry for my English but here are a few small remarks: 1) Theoretically you should not use a hammer to extract the brake disc. On my corolla, there are two holes in which it is enough to screw 8 mm bolts to extract the brake disc. 2) practically before reassembling a brake disc, it is absolutely necessary to clean and remove all traces of rust from the surface on which it is mounted. 3) once the disc is in place and temporarily bolted. It would be necessary to check the ovality and if necessary dismantle it and turn it (to the next bolt, if 5 bolts 1/5 of a turn, if 4 bolts 1/4 of a turn) to find which position minimizes the ovality or that which makes it lower than that specified by the manufacturer. In my case 0.05 mm. 4) The sliding pins holding the caliper should be inspected and re-greased. Be careful if you dismantle these with the protective bellows. Make sure that these are re-greased with a specific grease and correctly put back in place. 5) the pad retaining clips may also need cleaning and some special grease. 6) if the parts are presented correctly, you should not have to use a hammer to put them in place. It should go in easily without forcing. 7) the back faces of the pads (not those in contact with the disc) or the anti-squeak pads can also receive special anti-squeal grease. 8) a torque wrench should be used and the tightening torques specified by the manufacturer should be applied. Different tightening torques for the caliper bracket and for the caliper. 9) the surface of the rim which is in contact with the disc should also be cleaned before reassembly. 10) and also the new discs must also have been degreased. They are often coated in grease for storage.

Don't forget the torque specs for each bolt... unscrew the brake fluid container so you don't create pressure when pressing the piston...lubricate the brake pins on the caliper...lubricate the pad beakers to avoid noises...is an easy job with some details

Good morning ! You are amazing , I'm going to be replacing my brake pads today on my 2013 Toyota Corolla today . I've changed brake pads on my 1998 Honda Civic . That was awesome . Saved Big Bucks. Thank you so much 💯 😎

Aren't we supposed to torque the bolts to a specific pressure too?

Enjoyed the straight forward tutorial. Wish I saw this when I had my Corolla years back. Keep up the great content.

Awesome video!!! I will be changing my own brake pads this week or sometime next week! This really helped me a lot! Very informative!!!

Do not forget! You should pump the break after change. if you dont pump the break you probably crash the car. Thanks for the video..

Kevin wants a torque wrench for Christmas.

Please never use a hammer on the caliper pins if they do not move free they may be warped or dirty

You should add some silicone paste to the caliper slide pin bolts so you dont have uneven brake pad wear. Also, consider putting some copper anti sieze on the brake clips and brush some anti sieze on the hub so that the wheel does not get stuck on the hub. Good video though. You also might need a torque wrench to have an accurate measurement when you torque your wheels.

I always remove the guide pins and clean them and relube with Murcury Marine prop shaft paste grease. I forget the proper name of it.

Use breaker bar to remove 17mm bolts.

Very easy to understand dude, great job!!

Thanks for the video. Saved my self alot of money.

Mate perfect demonstration thank you

Thanks for the clear, to the point and simple to follow!!! 😎🙏🏻

Don’t newer cars have the indents on the piston that you have to have a special tool to use to drive it back in? I know my 2015 Corolla did and I’m assuming my 2019 will also.

Great vid bro! Finally! Something easy to follow! Thank you!

3:33 …always clean the hub with a wire brush and smear a little copper grease around the inner part close to the wheel bearing cap.

great video very clear instruction i like thanks

Thankyou very much, Sir🙏🏻

just did this and frogot to put the clips that clip to the brake pad on. Not the sliding retainer clips put the ones clipped onto the brake pad. What do they even do?

You make this look so easy

I didn't no was so easy thanks bro u help me alot

I like your tutorial. Really good.

When you said if the slide pins were not working get creative and pound on it with a hammer i actually laughed out loud! Seriously people dont ever do that , try to get the pins out using heat if they are seized

really helpful and easy to understand! Thanks!

Great brother well demonstrated

Very Helpful. Thank you!

My father said I don’t need to change the rotors if they’re still good, is this true?

I just replaced the pads,rotors, calipers and hose because driver side was getting hot and sticking. I replaced both sides to be safe and although 90% better, driver side is still sticking and getting warmer than passanger side? Any ideas?

My palms hurt now great video tho

Thanks man!!

Very informative video keep it up.

i wore my brakes down so badly that it got to the point of it making a grinding sound, when i looked one of my front pads was completely gone

Why are you replacing the rotors?

Are front and rear brake pads same size? If not can you suggest any brake pads for the rear brakes, thanks

Good job

Thanks bro👍🏼

same for the hatchback?

Good job experience

do you need to put any lubricate on those brake pad before you put it in ?

Good stuff

Thank you!!!

What's the name of the tool u used to push the pistons in?

Why did you replace the rotors? They looked perfectly fine to me (though I couldn't see the back side). When you take it in for brake job they routinely turn the rotors, but if you haven't put in grooves by waiting too long to replace the pads, then the turning or rotor replacement can be skipped. Put 250K on my PU and Honda and never once turned or replaced the rotor.

Loosen and brake cap. Clean and grease, bleed the brakes, and pump the brakes..

Thank you so so so so much 🤟👍👈🤙🤘

Nice Video! What's the brand for the Rotors/Pads and how it is the performance with those?

What kind of rotors did you use?

Great stuff -Thanks!

question: do the rear wheel brake replacements the same?

Did you had to bleed them after?

is this the same as 2017 corolla IM ?

Great 👍🏾

Rear brakes also require a special tool and can’t be compressed like the fronts.

I just want to add another important thing. Wear a face mask since the brake pad contains asbestos. It can causes lung cancer or mesothelioma.

Great

lmao using a tiny ratchet for caliper bolts, unnecessarily difficult.

To, co si předvedl v tomto videu je absolutní zoufalost a amaterismus. 1. pojízdným zvedákem se NIKDY nezvedá auto za práh, protože hrozí jeho poškození. 2. brzdový kotouče se z náboje nesundává kladivem, nýbrž pomocí šroubů, které se zašroubují do otvorů na kotouči k tomu určených. Postupným utahováním šroubů dojde ke stažení kotouče. Tak jak si to udělal ty hrozí poškození ložiska. 3. Brzdový kotouč se musí před montáží očistit a odmastit. Je to bezpodmínečně nutné pro správný brzdný účinek. 4. Kluzné plochy, kde se pohybují brzdové destičky se musí namazat speciální keramickou pastou, aby nedocházelo k jejich zadrhávání. Nevím, proč točíš videa o opravách aut, když tomu vůbec nerozumíš.

Lost a lot of thing to do

Torque by foot? C'mon!!

Grease the four ears of brakepad.

Please remove music from video. It is distracting.

Annoying music
