Q: How to service and repair the brake caliper on Toyota Camry?
A: Service and repair of the brake caliper starts with wheel removal that requires a torque setting of 103 Nm (1.050 kgf-cm and 76 ft. lbs.). The next step requires disconnecting the flexible hose through union bolt removal along with 2 gaskets from the caliper while applying torque of 29 Nm (300 kgf-cm, 21 ft. lbs.) and using a container to collect draining brake fluid. Caliper owners should remove TMMK slide pins using 43 Nm torque (440 kgf-cm or 32 ft. lbs.) yet TMC users need to utilize 34 Nm torque (340 kgf-cm or 25 ft. lbs.) to disengage the slide pin. Mallet away the caliper from the torque plate before you eliminate 2 brake pads with 4 anti-squeal shims for TMMK made or 2 brake pads with 2 anti-squeal shims for TMC made. During pad replacement all pad support plates and pad wear indicator must be taken off first while checking the pads and disc friction surfaces to remain entirely free of oil and grease. The main pin in TMC made calipers requires removal while using a hexagon wrench with 54 Nm (550 kgf-cm, 49 ft. lbs.) torque. After installation you must add brake fluid into the reservoir then conduct brake system bleeding and search for fluid leaks.
Q: How to service the brake caliper on Toyota 4Runner?
A: Before you start servicing the brake caliper remove the front wheel before securing the disc with hub nuts at 103 Nm while keeping the torque at 1,050 kgf-cm (76 ft. lbs.). Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 allows you to disconnect the brake line while catching the fluid in a container by applying torque of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Next you should use 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 90 ft. lbs.) to remove the 2 mounting bolts as well as the caliper. You should next remove the clip together with 2 pins, the anti-rattle spring, 2 pads and 4 anti-squeal shims from the system. The installation proceeds by following the reverse order of removal steps while filling the brake reservoir with fluid then bleeding the braking system before leak inspection.
Q: How to service and repair the brake caliper on Toyota Tacoma?
A: Service and repair of the brake caliper starts with removing the front wheel before tightening it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Start by disconnecting the flexible hose by uninstalling both the union bolt and 2 gaskets from the caliper then detaching the hose itself while torquing it to 30 Nm (310 kgf-cm, 22 ft. lbs.). Put the flexible hose lock into the caliper lock hole before reinstalling. Remove the caliper through the process of unbolting the 2 mounting bolts at 123 Nm (1,250 kgf-cm, 90 ft. lbs.). Proceed by first removing the clip then taking out the pins and anti-rattle spring and lastly remove two pads alongside four anti-squeal shims. Reverse the installation procedures until completion when you will need to add brake fluid to the reservoir then bleed the system for leaks inspection.
