• Q: How to replace the front Brake Pad Set on 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: The front brake pad replacement begins with wheel removal to check pad lining thickness at the caliper inspection hole against the stated 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) minimum; therefore, when pad thickness falls below this threshold they need replacement. Discard the clip first along with 2 pins before you remove the 2 pad retainer clips that lead to the 2 pads together with the anti-squeal shims and pad retainers. The pad retainer clip and clip can be recycled for future use when they are in excellent condition without signs of damage or rust and contamination-free. Pad installation needs to include both checking the disc thickness and disc runout and replacing the anti-squeal shims according to specifications. Use a small amount of fluid from the reservoir before using a hammer handle to compress the piston gently; do not force the piston if resistance is felt because you can release brake fluid by unwinding the bleeder plug. Seam each caliper piston with two pad retainers before fitting an anti-squeal shim to each pad. Disc brake grease requires application to both sides of the shims and pads according to the specified locations. The installation process begins by checking that pads, disc and pads and pin binders show no signs of oil or grease. Then install pin and pad retainers before the clip and reattach the front wheel using a 103 Nm torque values (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Brake pedal depression multiple times must happen before checking if the brake fluid reaches max fluid level.
