Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes. Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 48 minutes This repair was done on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Base 2.7L Standard Cab Pickup 2-Door 4WD Manual and the process should be similar on the following vehicles: 2005 Toyota Tacoma 2006 Toyota Tacoma 2007 Toyota Tacoma 2008 Toyota Tacoma 2009 Toyota Tacoma 2010 Toyota Tacoma 2011 Toyota Tacoma 2012 Toyota Tacoma 2013 Toyota Tacoma 2014 Toyota Tacoma 2015 Toyota Tacoma Tools you will need: • 8mm Wrench • 10mm Socket • 12mm Socket • 17mm Socket • 21mm Socket • Brake Caliper Hanger https://1aau.to/onv/1AXAA00439 • Pliers • Ratchet • Socket Extensions • Torque Wrench https://trq.video/obcH-1AXAA00044 • Brake Grease • Brake Parts Cleaner • Cloth Rags • Copper Anti-Seize • Center Punch • Drain Pan • Floor Jack • Jack Stands • Wheel Chocks • Wire Brush https://trq.video/oyd-1AXAA00079 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWCdsftsTqYMO7cA_5Sc-yA?sub_confirmation=1 Check out our playlist: Toyota Tacoma 2005-15 2nd Gen: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJVpHWuCEUX_0P0ewzw7LVG0IxaYU_ue8 📱 Download the TRQ Auto Repair App for more videos, torque specifications, and car repair information: https://trq.video/appdownloadyt ⚠ DISCLAIMER: While TRQ strives to make the information provided in this video as accurate as possible, it makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness or applicability of the content.
