In this video we show how to install a set of front brake pads and front rotors on a 2007-2012 Toyota Tundra. We will be installing Duralo Ceramic Series Brake Pads and Duralo Drilled and Slotted Rotors.
This brake pad replacement and rotor install also applies to the following vehicles:
2007 Toyota Tundra
2008 Toyota Tundra
2009 Toyota Tundra
2010 Toyota Tundra
2011 Toyota Tundra
2008 Toyota Sequoia
2009 Toyota Sequoia
2010 Toyota Sequoia
2011 Toyota Sequoia
2012 Toyota Sequoia
The tools needed for this job are a ratchet, a 17 millimeter socket, a flat-head screwdriver, a punch, pliers, and a hammer. Start by removing the wheel, if you don’t have an impact gun you can use a torque wrench or a breaker bar.
With your pliers, remove the retaining clip. These will release the two retaining pins which hold in the brake pads. You can take them out by hand, or you can use a pair of pliers. Sometimes you’ll need to use a little more force so you would use the hammer and punch, or just the back of your screwdriver.
Remove the last retaining clip with your pliers, and this will release the brake pads.
To remove the brake pads, stick your screwdriver between the brake pad and the rotor and this will compress the caliper piston. If you are not replacing the rotors you will want to use a C-clamp or brake caliper tool as to not damage the rotor. In this case we are replacing them so we aren’t worried about scratches.
