www.DirtyJunkyCar.com In this video I will show you how to change your rear brakes and rotors on a 2018-2023 Toyota Camry 2.5L 4-cylinder equipped with the standard mechanical parking brake system. (NOT Electronic Brake System) This DIY repair covers replacing the rear brake pads and rear brake rotors. This video does not cover Toyota Camry models equipped with an electronic parking brake system. If your Toyota Camry has worn rear brake pads, noisy brakes, grinding brakes, vibration while braking, or worn brake rotors, it may be time to inspect and replace your rear brakes. I will walk you through the repair process step by step so you can see how the rear brake system comes apart and goes back together. This repair includes safely lifting and supporting the vehicle, removing the rear wheels, removing the brake caliper, supporting the caliper without putting stress on the brake hose, removing the old brake pads, removing the caliper bracket and old brake rotor, installing the new rear brake rotor and brake pads, compressing the caliper piston, reinstalling the brake components, and putting everything back together correctly. Before beginning this repair, make sure your vehicle uses the standard mechanical parking brake system and not an electronic parking brake system. Brake systems can vary depending on model year, trim level, and vehicle configuration. Always verify the correct replacement parts, procedures, torque specifications, and safety information for your exact Toyota Camry before beginning the repair. Never work underneath a vehicle supported only by a floor jack. Always use properly rated jack stands on a solid, level surface and properly secure the vehicle before working. After completing the brake job, pump the brake pedal several times before moving the vehicle to seat the caliper pistons and restore a firm brake pedal. Check the brake fluid level and follow the brake pad and rotor manufacturer's recommended break-in or bedding procedure when applicable.
