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

Question

Accepted Answer

You should check the pad lining thickness through the caliper inspection hole by removing the rear wheel first. Replace the pads when the thickness falls below 1.0 mm (0.039 inch). You should begin pad replacement by taking away the two sliding pins from the caliper followed by suspension of the caliper without cutting the flexible hose. Take out the 2 pads together with the anti-squeal shims while removing the 4 pad support plates but continue using these components if they have no damage and no deformities, cracks, rust, or dirt. Examining disc thickness and runout marks the beginning of pad support plates and pad installation with the required change of anti-squeal shims into pads. The pad wear indicator plate must be placed on the new inner pad before you install the inner pad facing downward while the outer pad follows with attention to keep friction surfaces free of oil or grease. Squeeze a minimal amount of brake fluid from the reservoir before you use a hammer handle or equivalent to push in the pistons. If pushing in the pistons is hard you must loosen the bleeder plug which creates fluid escape. The installation of the caliper must be performed carefully while inspecting that the boot stays free of obstructions before installing the sliding pins that should receive lithium soap base glycol grease with a torque set to 88 Nm (900 kgf-cm, 65 ft. lbs.). After tightening the rear wheel to 110 Nm (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.), check the fluid level is at the max line by pressing the brake pedal several times.
