• Q: How to replace the rear Brake Pad Set on 2002 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Start the process by first disconnecting the rear wheel and inspect the pad lining measurement through the caliper inspection hole to replace the pads when the measurement reaches below 1.0 mm (0.039 inch). Take out two sliding pins from the brake caliper before suspending its position without disconnecting the flexible hose. Start pad replacement by removing 2 components including 2 anti-squeal shims with their corresponding 2 pads then disassemble the 4 pad support plates which can be reused when they remain in good shape without deformities and maintain clean surfaces. Measure the disc thickness and check its runout before attaching the pad support plates. After pad replacement, anti-squeal shims must also be replaced and the new inner pad should receive the pad wear indicator facing downward during assembly. Install each pad with an anti-squeal shim and place the inner pad correctly before installing the outside pad while ensuring no oil or grease touches the friction materials. Before reattaching the caliper users should remove brake fluid from the reservoir while pushing piston action through caliper installation with a hammer handle and ensuring proper caliper positioning in order to avoid boot damage. Add lithium soap base glycol grease to the sliding pins before their installation where torques should reach 88 Nm at 900 kgf-cm torque or 65 ft. lbs. value. Reinstall and torque the rear wheel to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). Afterward, push the brake pedal multiple times before checking the fluid reaches the maximum line.
