How to replace the front Brake Pad Set on 2003 Toyota Sequoia?

Question

Accepted Answer

First remove the front wheel and check the pad lining thickness against minimum requirement of 1.0 mm (0.039 inch) during pad replacement. Start by taking out the clip along with two pins and anti-rattle spring then proceed to extract the two pads along with their four anti-squeal shims. The anti-rattle spring and clip can be retained for reuse when they remain free of deformities, cracks and wear with no rust or dirt present. The disc thickness and runout testing should lead to new pad installation with proper replacement of anti-squeal shims. Before using a monkey wrench handle or equivalent you need to tape it first to avoid injury before pressing the brake pistons with a small amount of reservoir brake fluid. One-wheel pad replacement should be done separately to protect the opposite piston from damage and the piston can be more easily pushed in by opening the bleeder plug to drain out brake fluid. The installation process requires you to apply grease to both sides of inner anti-squeal shims which must then be positioned onto new pads yet the rubbing face of those pads needs to stay free of grease or oil contamination. The procedure follows with reattaching the anti-rattle spring and 2 pins and then the clip and later reinstalling the front wheel by tightening it to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). Complete brake pedal compressions followed by verifying that the fluid level reaches the maximum marking.
