Just a quick video showing how I changed the Front Brake Pads on a 2020 Toyota Corolla.
Tools needed:
14mm socket and/or wrench
17mm thin open end wrench if slide pins spin when removing them or tightening them.
Flathead Screwdriver or small pry bar for prying the caliper piston back in.
Torque wrench
Silicone Based Brake grease
Jack and Jack Stands
The torque specs I found online are:
25 ft. lbs for the caliper slide pin bolts
79 ft. lbs for the caliper bracket bolts (I didn't take off the caliper bracket since we didn't change the rotor)
I used the 'Import Direct' brand of brake pads from O'reilly Auto Parts.
The Orange Coating on the surface of the pad is an abrasive coating, it cleans the old pad transfer matierial off the rotors. It's supposed to help with cleaning the old rotor during the 'break-in' period when they are installed with used, un-unturned rotors.
These pads are working great and the owner is happy with the braking performance.
Thanks for watching!
