Brake Caliper Replacement

Seizing brakes? Here's how to replace a brake caliper on your car.

Using simple, easy to follow instructions and common tools, this video tutorial will demonstrate step by step how to diagnose a sticking brake caliper, remove it from the vehicle, service it and replace it with a rebuilt or new one.

Common symptoms of sticking brake calipers include:
- vibration on the highway
- vibration while braking
- pulsating brake pedal
- car feeling sluggish
- wheel not turning, just dragging
- no brakes on that one wheel
- over heating rotors and wheels after a long drive
- degradation in braking performance

All that's needed for this job is a 14mm socket and ratchet (with an extension pipe) and an 8mm closed end wrench.

This repair was performed on a 2004 Toyota Camry, and should be similar for all front or all wheel drive Toyota's and Lexus models, including the Lexus ES300, ES330, ES350, RX300 RX330 RX350, Toyota Solara, Sienna, Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Matrix, Highlander, Rav4, Corolla iM, Yaris etc with rear disc brakes.

Tips for success:
- soak rusty bolts in penetrating fluid
- use a breaker bar for more leverage
- use clean t-shirts or underwear to wipe up excess brake fluid
- lubricate slider pins and the ends of brake pads
- change the caliper quickly to minimize fluid draining out of the master cylinder
- Anti-seize compound on everything

This job should take 45 min to an hour and can be done at home. Also required is a funnel, some brake fluid (DOT 3) and a helper to pump the brakes.
