📍 *75Built - San Diego, CA* ▶▶ Hello Overland friends & family! 75Built here with another product installation for you! This is a Do-It-Yourself Brake Change Video with our *Disc Brake Pad Kit for the 3rd Gen Tacoma.* Direct from Toyota, these brake pads are a perfect fit because they are Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM). They come with the recommended packet of lubrication to apply to the existing brake shims. The vehicle we are performing the brake change on today is this 2017 Tacoma. It’s actually getting its brakes changed for the very first time. Notice the original stock brakes are so ground down there is almost nothing left...about a 1/16" before they are totally gone. We do not recommend letting your brake pads get this low. Comparing the old to new, it’s clear we should’ve replaced them a year or two ago. Overall it is a very easy installation. All you need is a jack and 2 jack stands, a tire iron, screwdrivers and pliers. Once the tire is off you get full access to the rotor and calipers, where you simply pop off pins and holding clips in order to get to the brake pads. The power brake system presses in on the brake pads and with the amount these were worn down, we had to gently press in on the pistons to make room to work. Then on the back of the brake pads, lubricate the shim assembly and reinstall with the clips and pins. If you have any comments or suggestions, let us know in the comments below. *NOTE:* Working on and around vehicles can be dangerous. Refer to your vehicles manual for additional information on operation and maintenance. Always consult with a qualified automotive technician. Modifications to your vehicle may void warranty of your dealer and/or manufacturer. Remember…safety first and enjoy the rest of this installation. Thanks for watching. *Chapters* ⏵00:00 Intro - Overview of a Brake Change ⏵00:25 The Kit + Supplies Needed ⏵01:47 Lift Up ⏵03:29 Lug Removal (Passenger) ⏵04:51 Access to the Calipers ⏵05:09 Remove Clips & Pins ⏵06:40 Compress Pistons ⏵07:07 Remove Brake Pad ⏵07:56 Open New Pad Kit ⏵08:28 Compare Old to New ⏵09:55 Apply Lubrication ⏵12:30 Insert New Pads ⏵13:16 Replace Pins & Clips ⏵14:27 Done, Ready for Wheel ⏵16:21 Tighten Lugs ⏵18:43 Other Side (Driver) ⏵20:23 Compress Pistons ⏵20:31 Compress Pistons ⏵21:51 Apply Lubrication ⏵24:22 Insert New Pad ⏵24:36 Make Room for new Thicker Pads ⏵25:31 Secure Pins & Clips ⏵26:49 Done! ⏵27:21 Replace Wheel ⏵29:50 Tighten Lugs ⏵31:38 Outro & What's Next for 75Built!?! *Product featured in this video* ● OEM Brake Pad Kit: ► https://www.75built.com/product-page/tacoma-oem-front-brake-pads We are an Overland Gear & Goods Company out of San Diego, CA Visit our Shop at https://www.75built.com/ *Use Coupon Code: "NEW15OFF"* 👈 🔔 *SUBSCRIBE TO HELP US MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!* https://www.youtube.com/@UCJ4mZVSvJocX6tQHvnyEsnQ *Connect with us!* =================================== Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/75built/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/75Built YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@75Built TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@75built Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/75built/ 75Built: 🌎 / https://75built.com/ 👈 =================================== 💙 *Support Us on Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/c/75Built =================================== 🎥 *Video & Media Content:* 75Built 🎵 *Music Credits:* "Ant Fire" by Rachel K Collier "Broken" by Patrick Patrikios "Dorian" by Andrew Langdon "Dream It" by TrackTribe "No Clarity" by Stayloose "Go On Going" by Stayloose "Modern Situations" by Unicorn Heads "No Favours" by Patrick Patrikios "No Sugar" by Stayloose "Rollin" by Lauren Duski "Free Me (Instrumental)" by Neffex #75built #overland #overlanding #recovery #offroad #tacoma #4runner #jeep #wheels #brakes #brakesystems #brakeservice #brakeservices #tacomabrakes #newbrakes #discbrake #discbrakes #tundra #fjcruiser
