4Runner Sport 4.0L

So this is the fifth caliper that I've replaced in 80k miles. One for each tire, plus one more for the front driver's side. Its a real pain in the ass if you don't have an impact wrench to remove the bolts with. Luckily I purchased one after the second time it happened. Bleeding the breaks isn't too bad but it's easier with two people.

4Runner LTD V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,865 miles

First time in my life I had to replace the caliber on a disc brake system .( I do it myself) but I paid my friendly Filipino mechanic this time, his cost for the parts was lot cheaper than Toyota so worth the extra cost. I did buy the new pads at the Toyota dealer

106000 Km on my first set of pads.

The dish was 26.1 mm when the caliber was changed. Minimum recummended 24 mm

Didn't know about widespread brake failure at the time. Now I'm worried.
