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

  A: Begin pad replacement by removing the front wheel then fixing the disc with hub nuts during the brief span of service. The pad lining minimum thickness should be checked through the caliper inspection hole and new pads should be installed when the thickness falls below 1.0 mm (0.039 inch). You should lift the caliper by holding the sliding pin at the bottom while loosening and removing the installation bolt then securing the caliper in place before disconnecting the flexible hose. Extract the two brake pads together with four anti-squeal shims before you remove the four pad support plates that may remain in use provided they demonstrate good condition namely intact and rust-free. The inner pad wear indicator plate must be detached to examine both the disc thickness and its runout measurement. Before pad installation the four pad support plates and new pads should be installed together with their respective anti-squeal shims and pad wear indicator plates. The procedure requires installation of the pad wear indicator plate on the inner pad while application of disc brake grease to both sides of the inner anti-squeal shims before installing them onto each pad. OpenHelper the inner pad so its wear indicator plate points upward while installing the outer pad without smudging oil or grease on the contact surface. You should first extract a portion of brake fluid from its reservoir before pushing the piston in by using either a hammer handle or a suitable replacement tool but release the bleeder plug slightly if you encounter resistance. Follow the sequence of replacing the caliper by holding the sliding pin in position to torque the installation bolt to 34 Nm (350 kgf-cm, 25 ft. lbs.) before torquing the front wheel to 104 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 77 ft. lbs.). Repeat pressing of the brake pedal followed by verification of the fluid gauge measuring at the max line.
