Tundra Brake Upgrades - Pads and Rotors DIY 

Just left the local dealership yesterday. Went in for just an oil change. 4 and a half hours later. Oil change is not done. My 2017 Tundra has 32k miles. They said that I need a new battery. $328. New pads, rotors and calipers, new front struts, rear shocks, TMPD sensors all around , cabin filter, and air filer. Grand total!!! $4384.00. Told them to stick it. My oil change cost me $148. Acton TOYOTA, OF Littleton MASS. Never have I heard such BS!!!

I always put some anti-seize on the surface of the wheel hub to help from rotor sticking next time.

If you don't have a jack tall enough. Bust out the factory bottle jack. After you've extended your bigger jack. Use the bottle jack to raise it up another inch or so. Then use Jack's stands.

I do not put any wood on top of lift. Just spray any undercoat if you worry about peel off. Your life deserves way more

Thanks for the video. Just changed my front breaks. Your video helped me out alot. Keep up the great work.

Does it matter if the first clip goes on top or bottom mine had it on top

Honestly I didn’t notice a difference with stock pads versus hawk. I actually think the factory pads are better than hawk. They last 90k plus pending on your driving habits.

Great job. I've got to do this soon. Could you let us know what you torqued the caliper bolts and lug nuts at please?

What did you torque the caliper brackets to? AllData says 133 ft*lbs and to replace the bolts. But that seems out of line with other information I have read.

Great video! Your truck is badass. I was thinking of getting the same rotors. How are they holding up. Any problems? Noises?

Question. I got. Same tundra on 35s. Oem breaks wear out fast and always make noise even when new. Will your setup change anything for me? I wanted to do a big break system but can't find anything

Sorry my friend, but you installed the rotor backwards. Many of these cross drilled or slotted rotor kits come with two of the same rotor rather than left/right directional rotors. The slots on the rotors are to be facing backward. Not forward. This is to help the gases from from brake pads during heavy braking to escape outward rather than the slots being forward facing as you installed them which would bring air and water into the contact surface of the pads and rotor. 🙏

You didn't have to bleed the brakes? That's what I hate the most about doing brake jobs.

Have a '17 Tundra, tow my 5000 lbs boat about half the year and unfortunately, I'm also a hot breaker of the daily. Have 74K and put my second set of pads/rotors on last summer. I have a crazy shimmy now after about 8 months. Will this setup last me a bit longer?

did you have to remove the wheel speed sensor ?

Has the braking distance increased? Is this a upgrade for towing?

Awesome job! How are they holding up?

are u suppose to have break cylinder open?

Hey man, how are these holding up 1 year later?

Nice job thanks

Part#’s?

What kind of wheels are those? Size?

How those rotors working for you looking for some good ones

How have the brakes been working?

Curious as to what a mechanic would charge for this.

Why didn't you want to just do all four to get it all perfect at one time?

your rotor is on backwards

how much would you sell your subaru ?
