The bolts are called hub and bearing mounting bolts, equivalents can be gotten at ace hardware the ones I purchased are Class 10.9 M12./1.25 and are $3.99 each. I'm sure the prices will differ depending where you live. What I did was look up the part number for the bolt itself, then I went to a Toyota dealership and ordered the original one along with a Camry bolt which is longer but thinner. I ordered one each which was about four dollars, so I could have a reference point for both length and thickness. This worked out perfectly As I was able to come home remove the wheel and test the threads and it's a perfect match.
Yep, I just took one of mine down to the local hardware store and bought the strongest bolt, class 10.9, like you did that was 5mm longer. At my local store they were $2 each. When I screwed one of the original ones in I could easily see they were about 5mm too short.
couple tips: these rotors don't have holding screws so a lug nut tightened down holds it in place whilst you install the bracket and pads. also these rotors are backwards, they actually grab way better when you face the holes/slots towards the front of the vehicle. other than that great video! id love to do my 10th gen.
The rotors were installed according to the markings on them from the manufacturer. I've actually seen rotors with slots facing both directions depending on the manufacturer. It can be very confusing depending on the manufacturer because it's not always the same. Most aftermarket rotors I've used over the years don't have holding screws, no big deal.

Well, that would be tough as I don't have any special access to the parts any more than others do. Plus many will want certain brand rotors and pads. If you order the parts from a dealer with the part numbers I listed you would be good to go. My regular job takes too much of my time. LOL
I am so very thankful of this video. I would like to know more about the parts rear brake calipers and brackets and other parts - types and how they were obtained. These parts are not stock for the Corolla.
They are stock for the 2009-10 Corolla XRS that came with rear disc brakes. The same rear disc brakes can be found on the 2014-19 Corolla sedan that came with rear disc brakes. I bought many of the parts new from a Toyota dealer as I wasn't having any luck finding them from salvage yards but many others have found complete axles. You could also use aftermarket parts from places like Rock Auto. The rear discs are from EBC and all parts are listed in the description.
2004 corolla rear hubs (same shape and size except that 2009 has the big electrical connection for traction control) is 45 lbs of torque according to the internet.
Excellent video! I think I will refer to this should I decide to do a disc brake conversion on my own vehicle. Also, just curious but did your new rotors come with little screws to affix them to the hub? I noticed that the rotor was wobbling around a bit during your install. Of course once the wheel is on the rotor isn't going anywhere, but it's always nice to have that extra layer of protection. Thanks again for the great video.
Excelente video, Yo estoy por aser el mismo proyecto de cambiarle el freno de tambor a freno de disco a mi Corolla S 2010 , yo conseguí con suerte todas las partes de un Corolla S 2014 chocado en partes... 👉🏽 Toyota Corolla desde 2009 a 2018, Toyota Matrix 2009 a 2014 y Pontiac Vibe 2009 a 2010, Todos llevan el mismo sistema de freno de disco y funcionan bien siempre y cuando el modelo de los carros sean modelos XRS, SE, SPORTS LIMIT o SE PLUS,... GRACIAS a este video y más toda la información en Google y CZcams tuve todo el conocimiento de las partes y procesos 🎉👌🏾👍🏽
Thanks. I wanted to do it so that anyone could follow and do it themselves. New parts are available from any Toyota dealer in person and online. New aftermarket parts can be bought online at Rock Auto and similar places. You may also be able to source some used parts from a salvage yard. The rear disc brakes are essentially the same from 2009-2019 Corollas with rear disc brakes.
Hey Jim thank you for doing this ! I just recently changed my rear brake drum shoes on my 2013 Toyota Corolla s and definitely gonna switch to rotate and pads since it’s a way easier and safer process ! Do you have a link to all the parts/bolts you got for your Corolla ?
Did you happen to catch the weight differences between the parts taken off from the OEM drum setup vs the parts added for the disc brake retrofit? I’m curious to see if it shed a pund or two maybe for each side or not.
How do you like your coil overs? I’ve been looking for a way to improve ride quality over terribly maintained city streets. I know most people are looking for tighter handling, I’d just like to not break my neck on city roads. Any thoughts welcome and appreciated! Nice video too!!
Thanks! I love my BC coilovers and I have them set in the middle of the range. If you put them on the softest setting I'm sure that they could handle the rougher roads just fine that you have to deal with.
Yes finally someone with a Corolla , but would it make it difference if I do the conversion to my 2014 Corolla Le eco plus, yes ik I have the whack model but I’m stuck with it for a while 😅 will this be an issue?
Nope, completely different. The rear disc and caliper are smaller and the rear caliper also integrates the parking brake. I also have a video on the front brakes as I upgraded to a big brake kit that you can see how different the front set up is.
Yes, I was told that the part numbers for the rear disc brakes on the 2014-19 Corolla sedan from the S/SE are the same as the 2009-10 XRS. That should make finding used parts much easier. You could verify this by looking up some parts for both of them and checking to see if they are the same.
@@jimsgaragetoys thanks for replying back. I think it would be much easier to find used parts for those years since they are more common. To have rear disk brakes. But I will double check part numbers to make sure! Thanks for the video!
@@BrandonStellmach Some people have better luck than others. Much of the small hardware I would buy new anyway, the brake pad shims and caliper bracket hardware for the pads. The big things like the backing plates, calipers, and caliper brackets should be good to go if in good condition. I would order new parking brake cables.
I got my parts from a scrapped 2011 Matrix equipped with rear brakes. Verified all the part numbers are the same as an XRS. Attempting mine today if everything works out
I bought stainless steel brakes lines from Apex Brakes. They are available in many different colors at www.apexbrakes.com or you can email Raymond Chan at raymond@apexbrakes.com as he is a sales rep for them. I ordered mine directly through him.
They are all available new from a dealer. Used one can be sourced from salvage yards. New aftermarket parts can be found online at places like Rock Auto. The parts are essentially the same for for 10th and 11th Gen Corollas from 2009-2019 with rear disc brakes. Others are getting the parts so they are available. Keep looking and look harder!
Thanks! I installed the turbo 5 1/2 years ago. It's a complete turbo kit designed by Turbokits.com and is excellent quality. If interested talk to Jesse and Grant at Turbokits.com as they are both fantastic to work with.
The process would be very much the same. I know others have done this on the 9th Gen Corolla too. The only thing I'm not 100% on would be the parts that you would need. My first thought would be a Celica with rear disc brakes to get all of the parts.
Sorry Jim I have another quick question, when you ordered the callipers from Toyota do they come with the like mount that holds them onto the brake assembly? Like where the guide pins & pads go? Or did you have to get those separately as well? Also, I’ve never bought OEM straight from Toyota & I see that online they show the diagram for these parts, so I was wondering, do these parts come all apart & you have to assemble them like in their diagrams or do they come all together assembled?
No worries, I'm always willing to help out. The calipers are sold separately from the caliper mounting bracket when buying new parts. They would be listed separately on places like Rock Auto also. If you can find a donor car you could get the entire brake assembly from a salvage yard. I would buy the OEM calipers but the caliper mounting bracket could be bought for less from places like Rock Auto as well as the dust shields. I bought my parts over time so I was lazy and just ordered them new from a local dealer parts department. The diagrams are a vary large exploded view of the assembly and if you look at the beginning of the video I laid the parts out as they came. The calipers are already assembled so it's not like you have to put in the seals, pins, piston and all of those parts. I hope that makes sense.
I agree with your comments could you give use a detailed ordering in order would truly be appreciated thank you sir, have a 2012 toyota corolla LE 1.8 lter
I did list the parts needed. There is no order for getting them as you need everything to complete the conversion. You can also look for many of the parts at a salvage yard. Some have lucked out and got a complete axle with everything they needed. I had no luck that way so I just began ordering the parts new.
Thanks for sharing. Just wondering how you routed the ebrake cable? Did you have any issues? Because I know that with the drum brakes it pulls from the bottom, but with the disc brakes it pulls from the top.
The new parking brake cables route the same as the drum brake cables. The final section is just routed straight to the caliper. I made a separate video when I installed them, here's the link. czcams.com/video/jweqm9c6H5k/video.html
I have a 2013 Toyota corolla 1.8l base model with rear drum brakes. Is this a full parts list? I would definitely do this if I know what I need. I've searched the web and it seems people have different what to do's about it for some reason. As far as I'm aware this is the only video that could apply to my car.
I tried to make the parts list complete and I talk about each part as I install it. The only part not listed is the longer bolts needed to bolt the disc backing plate to the hub. I got those at a local hardware store but I talk about them in the video. If you can find the parts at a salvage yard you might luck out and get everything you need. The swap is very simple if you just follow me along in the video. I tried to make it easy to follow what I was doing. Thanks fir the question.
@@jimsgaragetoys hey Jim thanks for responding, I texted CEIKA and they said they only had the conversion kit for the front, if I wanted to change the rear I would have to change the axle which in your video you prove is not necessary, this is why I've been hesitant to do it. (stories are different almost every time) so I'm very thankful for your video.
@@downside1237 If you do the drum to disc conversion you can also use the rear Ceika BBK. Just order it for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS. They didn't understand what I was referring to also when I first mentioned it. Once he finally understood what I was doing in stages he confirmed that the rear would indeed work for the XRS as that is the setup I now have. I didn't know about the Ceika brake options when I was buying parts or I would have just used the Ceika rotor and caliper for the rear too. That will be a further upgrade down the road, at least most likely. That's why I painted the OEM caliper red though to match the front until that day comes.
@@jimsgaragetoys hey Jim thanks for the reply, I communicated to ceika everything you told me and they still took the same stance with the exception of them wanting to see an order number or who ordered it. What I found searching their site was the Ceika custom big brake kit for toyota corolla E140/E150 (7-13) Was that the one you were referring to? If anything I'll probably just order the same stuff you got from the same places. Last question: just curious If I could get disk brakes and parts from a place like let's say rock auto wouldn't that be the same thing thanks?Sorry for being so long and thanks for all your help
@@downside1237 Yes, that is the model I used for the E140/E150. The person I was speaking with understood what I was doing. I guess when I cross that road I'll figure it out. You can oder the parts from Rock Auto if you want or any other place. I wanted new OEM calipers so I ordered them and all the small clips and parts from a dealer. I've had too many issues with generic parts when doing brake jobs. You should be fine with whatever rotors and pads you prefer.
It would be the same process. The brakes on the 9th and 10th Gens are very similar so the process would be the same. I know that the rear disc brakes from a 7th Gen Celica fit the 9th Gen Corolla as other have done that swap. You could use my video max a guide that would be very similar as long as you had the right parts. Heck, I'm not even sure if the rear brakes are different so maybe check part numbers at a dealer.
Cost will vary depending on new or used parts. Some people have been able to do it for next to nothing with salvage yard finds all the way up to about $1k for brand new OEM parts.
Just what I explain in the video. When I had the car aligned after I installed the coilovers they had to use a shim to get the correct alignment on the rear wheels due to there being no camber adjustment.
I left OEM part numbers and links in the description below the video. I bought most thing new but you could use the part numbers to look for aftermarket parts too. I bought mine through a local Toyota dealer, just check with the parts department or look online.
@@jimsgaragetoys I was browsing on local website that a foreman wanted sell his disk rotor one pair for rear position , I asked him , do you have still have the product ?

I have a 2017 corolla with a bent rear beam axel. A used replacement with disc brakes cost over $1200 I’m hoping I could buy a drum brakes one and swap everything onto it.
I saw plenty of cars at the salvage yard with drum brakes. If you can get on with disc brakes though I would say get it. Everything would be ready to go other than swapping the parking brake cables.
@@jimsgaragetoys my axel already has disc brakes but the used replacement is about 1400 with tax and delivery. I found a drum brake one for $250 with 90k miles. The cost difference is way too much for me rn. I can still drive the car at 85-90 miles per hour but the rear feels a bit loose.

@@Yourengineeringstandpt All of the 10th Gen rear brake parts are the same and the parts that I listed will work on any 10th Gen that has drum brakes, at least in North America. I listed the parts needed in the description but there is no kit with everything in one box.
Hello Jim I am wondering if you can supply a part number for the steel braided brake line for the rear calipers. The website catalog doesn’t list the 2010 Corolla model. Thank you!
I went through the sales rep. His name is Raymond Chan and his email is raymond@apexbrakes.com You can email him and ask him for the rear disc brake lines for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS.

@@benitocala69 I don't ever mind questions so feel free if something doesn't make sense. This conversion with these parts will work on a 2009-2019 Corolla covering the 10th and 11th Gens. So yes, this will work for the 2010 Corolla. 👍😎🙌
I got them from Apex Brakes, they didn't list them but they make them to order in many colors. Just contact them, I had the parts listed in the description. apexbrakes.com/products.asp

I listed all of the parts I used in the description. I used Toyota OEM parts other than the rotors and pads. If you want to get aftermarket parts for less then just have them look up the rear disc brake parts for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS since that came with rear disc brakes. That is what the parts department did for me at Toyota. You might also have some luck with local salvage yards finding used parts. Good luck and feel free to follow up with me. I try to answer all questions. Thanks!
Jim, looking to do this conversion to my 2013 Corolla S. Do you have the specs on the brake lines you ordered from Apex brakes? I’m in talks with Raymond over there.
That's a good question! I don't think they will fit as the rear suspension and bolt pattern are different. I wouldn't know for sure unless I could see and compare the parts. You could look up parts for both cars and see if they are the same or different part numbers. To be sure though, just get the rear brake parts for the sedan.
@@jimsgaragetoys I ask you the question because according to e-bay the calipers of the matrix and those of the pontiac vipe 2010 are the same and also when I look for the Brake Dust Shield plate I see the same part number of 2009 corolla xrs
@@user-gp8ec6rr2p The Vibe and Matrix are the same car under the skin so the parts will be the same. I can see the brake dust shield being the same sine that just screws onto the back of the hub. check the caliper mount part number. Also the hubs will be different due to the different bolt pattern. I suspect that a few of the parts will be the same while a few will be different. I'm not certain and that is the reason I used parts from a 10th Gen Corolla XRS sedan. The rear disc brakes on the 2014-2019 Corolla sedan are also the same.
Great DYI video Jim. I was wondering if you could add the part numbers of the Toyota parts you used? I thought all along that the rear beam needed replaced as well, so I’ve been looking for a loaded rear axle. Your approach seems acquirable. Thanks in advance.
No rear beam is needed. It's very easy to do since the rear hubs are the same and can be used with the disc brakes. I didn't pay attention to keeping the parts packing as I was going. Here are some that I got. 46420-02151 Parking brake cable - right side 46430-02151 Parking brake cable - left side 90105-A0021 Flange bolts 04946-02050 Brake Pad Shim Kit 04948-02101 Fitting Kit 47835-02160 Caliper Slide Pin (4 needed) 47804-02020 Brake Dust Shield Left 47803-02020 Brake Dust Shield Right I used EBC Redstuff brake pads and rotors that I ordered from R1 Concepts. That is most of the things you need. I bought 4 longer bolts from a local hardware store that were 10mm longer than the bolts that were used to attach the hub to the rear axle through the backing plate. I just took in a bolt and got the same thing but longer. I hope that this helps.
@@Yourengineeringstandpt The only thing not listed are the longer bolts that hold the hub on. I picked them up at the local hardware store. I talk about them in the video.
@@jimsgaragetoys just to be sure this is all I need to do the conversation then I can buy the rotors and the disc brakes and the longer bolts you said?
@@matthewalexander4926 Yes, this is everything that you need other than the longer bolts. You c an use OEM rotors and pads or any other brand that you prefer.
Finally a video for this exact thing we all need, did u need a brake proportioning valve for the set up or was it already fine as it is by just putting on the brakes? Can’t wait to finally do this right, thank u god 🙏🫡
@@jimsgaragetoys did u need the brake distribution valve thing for the rear, or are they just fine without touching it, I’ve heard that u need it due to the high pressure need for drums
@@nrdslayer6942 Sorry, I forgot to mention that part of your question. There is no need to mess with anything. The ABS module takes care of any pressure distribution to each wheel. On older cars it was needed but not newer cars with ABS. Just swap the parts and you are good to go!
Hey man thanks for this video, I’ve been wanting to do this for my Corolla for ages now, but I just don’t want to mess with my daily driver unless I know everything does work out fine with my model of Corolla. I have a 2017 LE, I’ve already changed my brake shoes and stuff given I do a l of handbrake turns and dumb stuff and the shoes were wearing down. So I’m not like a noob when it comes to working with brakes, but I again, don’t want to order all these parts and start the conversion & then halfway realise it doesn’t work for my model of Corolla So I guess I’m just wondering if this would work for the E170 models, specifically a 2017 LE. I’m guessing Toyota didn’t go as far as changing the Corolla’s rear drum brake assembly too much for a wide range of years and models but I still want to be 100% sure. Everyone online says this can’t be done easily (as you have).
I listed the parts I used in the description. Most were new from Toyota that I ordered through a local dealer parts department. You could also order parts through any other place like Rock Auto or find some of them used at a salvage yard.
Correct. I needed the shims because I lowered my car and the rear suspension has no adjustment. If you are not lowered or when you get an alignment your rear suspension is okay then you wouldn't need the shims.
Is there a specific sizing associated with the shim?? And what’s your ride height? Just getting into cars and this is definitely the look I’m going for
@@tkquanboyles7873 Good question. I had my car aligned at a shop and they determined the size of the shim from the alignment specs. I was just leaving the shim installed so that my alignment was still good.
It really depends on where you have to park! I will have a video on the parking brake cables but I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to install them. Mine is parked in a flat garage so it hasn't been a problem. I'm going to use my buddies lift to have better access to swap them out.
@@rubenjuarez9647 Me too! I've been driving it with the brake upgrades and it feels good. I just need to get to my friends house that has a lift so I have access.
I believe that they were about 5mm longer and I think that I say it in the video when I'm working on that point. It's been long enough since I've done it that I don't remember 100% off the top of my head. It didn't take much extra length though.
I just bought the same size as OEM but I believe they were 5mm longer. I believe that I mentioned it during the video but I would have to watch it again. I took one to the local hardware store and got a longer one but in the same strength rating.
so what do you as for as a replacement calliper or brake pads do you go to autozone or napa what do you ask for now that you removed the drums???? replacement parts ?????
I will get the exact parts that I ordered. In my case it's a rear brake caliper or rear brake pads for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS. These parts are in fact the same as any Corolla sedan in North America from 2009-2019 that came with a rear disc brake so the parts are pretty common and easy to come by. See, that wasn't so hard now was it? 😎😍
@@jimsgaragetoys awesome thank you so much! I was looking at doing this but was under the impression I needed to! I appreciate your super detailed tutorial, it’s fantastic!!
So if you bought all new parts you would be between $700-$1200 depending on where you buy the parts from and if they are OEM or not. If you can get them used I've seen people do this for as little as $150. Start looking around for clean used parts and see if you luck out!
Because drum brakes overheat much quicker and lose braking performance when driven hard. After turbocharging my Corolla I needed better braking performance when driving in the canyons and mountains. Disc brakes also are easier to service and change the pads compared to brake shoes on drum brakes. And finally disc brakes look much better behind a nice looking wheel. This is why most cars now come with 4 wheel disc brakes. Even the same year Corolla XRS had rear disc brakes and it only had 158hp compared to the 230hp my Corolla Turbo has. Name me any car with over 200hp that has rear drum brakes in the last 20 years? Technology improves and disc brakes also allow easy pad changes for different braking performance.
Yes, your 2011 Corolla S in exactly the same as what my 2009 Corolla S is. In fact, the 2009-13 10th Gen Corollas are all identical as far as the rear drum brake assembly. You can do this!
The 2020 Corolla is different from the 2009-2019 Corolla. What year is your Corolla? Mine is a 10th Gen Corolla that sold from 2009-2013 in North America. The 11th Gen Corolla Sedan uses the same rear axle and rear brakes so they will also work. It was sold from 2014-2019.
I'm trying to convert my rear brake shoes to disc/rotors.. any links on where i can find any? It is a 2016 Toyota Corolla Fielder Also is it that these ones used in this video can be used as well? If so, is there an entire conversion kit that i can purchase or i would have to get all the parts individually?
I'm not familiar with the Corolla Fielder. I'm in the US and there is no kit that is sold. There are models that come with rear disc brakes and I just bought those parts. I did list what I bought in the description below the video if you want to see.
So I drive a 2010 Corolla S. I can’t seem to find any kits for the conversion. Does the XRS parts fit the same? I’ve seen seen people swap too using hand brake pads. Blah.
There are no kits for it but the parts from a 2009-10 XRS is what I used. Many have luck finding a complete axle but I never did. I slowly bought most parts brand new over about a year.
Where can I find the part of metal that holds the caliper because Im trying to find it and I can't I don't know the name is the metal that has the holes to hold the caliper help me please
I believe that you are asking about the caliper bracket. You can order them new from Toyota or try to find them new from online sellers. The other option would be to look at salvage yards for used ones.
If you want the new part numbers from Toyota they are listed in the parts list below the video. If you can find them used you will be able to save some good money

Jim, don't want racing rotors do they have stock , OH by the way found the shops down below and #s didn't see shim kit what did you order from Toyota just wondering 🤔 thanks again lol please get back to me thank you again....
I pulled the numbers off of the packages. They can also look up the part numbers from a 2009-10 Corolla XRS. That's what they did for me originally. You can get solid rotors, slotted, or slotted/drilled like mine. Just look on the website and select the rotors you want.
The parts you need to do the disc brake conversion are listed in the description. You can buy new parts or use used ones if you can find them. Just follow the video!
I'm not 100% sure but I believe that the 9th Gen rear disc brakes are the same for the 10th Gen and 11th Gen. You could always check with a dealer parts department to make sure.
Do you think those parts wil work on a 8th gen Rolla? It pretty much looks like mines. I know suspension parts are interchangeable with the 8th gen. So maybe this would work too? How much did all those parts cost?
I'm not sure about the 8th Gen, but the 9th Gen is the same as the 10th Gen. I believe that the 7th and 8th Gens are similar. Check part numbers and see if they are different for the 8th Gen and 10th Gen.
@@96MustangBoy1 Yes, 2003-2008 are 9th Gen Corollas in North America. These parts should work for the 9th-11th Gen Corollas but make sure. You can check online that part numbers are the same for the 9th & 10th Gen. Just do your research. Worst case scenario is to get the parts from a 9th Gen Corolla that has rear disc brakes.
What numbers? Part numbers? Just look at the description below the video. I listed the part numbers I used but you can search for aftermarket parts too or get them used from a salvage yard where you won't be dealing with part numbers.
I list the OEM part numbers that were bought from a dealer but you can buy them online from many places. The other parts are also listed as to where I bought them.
This has made me really excited to get my 2012 Corolla back on the road. Thanks so much for making a very detailed video and parts list.

The bolts are called hub and bearing mounting bolts, equivalents can be gotten at ace hardware the ones I purchased are Class 10.9
M12./1.25 and are $3.99 each. I'm sure the prices will differ depending where you live.

Well, that would be tough as I don't have any special access to the parts any more than others do. Plus many will want certain brand rotors and pads. If you order the parts from a dealer with the part numbers I listed you would be good to go. My regular job takes too much of my time. LOL
I am so very thankful of this video. I would like to know more about the parts rear brake calipers and brackets and other parts - types and how they were obtained. These parts are not stock for the Corolla.
They are stock for the 2009-10 Corolla XRS that came with rear disc brakes. The same rear disc brakes can be found on the 2014-19 Corolla sedan that came with rear disc brakes. I bought many of the parts new from a Toyota dealer as I wasn't having any luck finding them from salvage yards but many others have found complete axles. You could also use aftermarket parts from places like Rock Auto. The rear discs are from EBC and all parts are listed in the description.
that was awesome and the parts list is key!
Thanks!
2004 corolla rear hubs (same shape and size except that 2009 has the big electrical connection for traction control) is 45 lbs of torque according to the internet.
Excellent video! I think I will refer to this should I decide to do a disc brake conversion on my own vehicle. Also, just curious but did your new rotors come with little screws to affix them to the hub? I noticed that the rotor was wobbling around a bit during your install. Of course once the wheel is on the rotor isn't going anywhere, but it's always nice to have that extra layer of protection. Thanks again for the great video.
There are no screws that hold the rotor in place. As you said, once the wheel is on it will sandwich it between the wheel and hub.
Those retaining screws are used during new car production at the factory. Not needed when redoing brakes.
@@AJwoodway Not sure what retaining screws you are referring to. It was a year ago since I did this! 🤣
My 2018 Corolla with disc brakes doesn’t have it. There is no need. After 10+ years those soft metal screws won’t always come out easily.
planning on doing this to my 94 Camry coupe really looking forward to it!
It should be very similar to the Corolla.
Were you able to find a backing plate with the holes to mount the caliper
@@constellation3345 yes actually, they make some models with rear disks
Excelente video, Yo estoy por aser el mismo proyecto de cambiarle el freno de tambor a freno de disco a mi Corolla S 2010 , yo conseguí con suerte todas las partes de un Corolla S 2014 chocado en partes... 👉🏽 Toyota Corolla desde 2009 a 2018, Toyota Matrix 2009 a 2014 y Pontiac Vibe 2009 a 2010, Todos llevan el mismo sistema de freno de disco y funcionan bien siempre y cuando el modelo de los carros sean modelos XRS, SE, SPORTS LIMIT o SE PLUS,...

I saw your follow up after I just replied to your previous question. 😂😂😂
Damn I might have to do this too 😂
It's so worth it! I wish I had done it sooner.
Very good, very detailed video where I can get those pieces
Thanks. I wanted to do it so that anyone could follow and do it themselves. New parts are available from any Toyota dealer in person and online. New aftermarket parts can be bought online at Rock Auto and similar places. You may also be able to source some used parts from a salvage yard. The rear disc brakes are essentially the same from 2009-2019 Corollas with rear disc brakes.
Nice job
Thank you
Hay, Jim will this work on a corolla LE 2012 1.8 ltr sedan please advise parts needed to do this job thanks alot keep up the great vids appreciated
Yes, all of the 10th Gen Corollas with rear drum brakes are the same.
Hey Jim thank you for doing this ! I just recently changed my rear brake drum shoes on my 2013 Toyota Corolla s and definitely gonna switch to rotate and pads since it’s a way easier and safer process ! Do you have a link to all the parts/bolts you got for your Corolla ?
Links for the parts are listed in the description. You can source them new or used though as to what you want.
Excelente muchas gracias por la información es de gran ayuda 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥🔥
You are very welcome.
Did you happen to catch the weight differences between the parts taken off from the OEM drum setup vs the parts added for the disc brake retrofit? I’m curious to see if it shed a pund or two maybe for each side or not.
No I didn't. I wish I had thought to do that after I removed the drum brake parts.
How do you like your coil overs? I’ve been looking for a way to improve ride quality over terribly maintained city streets. I know most people are looking for tighter handling, I’d just like to not break my neck on city roads. Any thoughts welcome and appreciated!
Nice video too!!
Thanks! I love my BC coilovers and I have them set in the middle of the range. If you put them on the softest setting I'm sure that they could handle the rougher roads just fine that you have to deal with.
Yes finally someone with a Corolla , but would it make it difference if I do the conversion to my 2014 Corolla Le eco plus, yes ik I have the whack model but I’m stuck with it for a while 😅 will this be an issue?
You can do it just as easily as anyone else can. If you want to is up to you.
Nice ❤ just tighten the bolts and nuts a little more 👍🏻
They were all tightened just fine, not every detail is recorded. 😉
I just thought of another question. Might be silly but I’m still learning. Would the rear disk brake components be the same as the front?
Nope, completely different. The rear disc and caliper are smaller and the rear caliper also integrates the parking brake. I also have a video on the front brakes as I upgraded to a big brake kit that you can see how different the front set up is.
So any rear brakes from a 2014-2019 corolla will work on this conversation? I don’t need to specially look for Xrs brakes?
Yes, I was told that the part numbers for the rear disc brakes on the 2014-19 Corolla sedan from the S/SE are the same as the 2009-10 XRS. That should make finding used parts much easier. You could verify this by looking up some parts for both of them and checking to see if they are the same.
@@jimsgaragetoys thanks for replying back. I think it would be much easier to find used parts for those years since they are more common. To have rear disk brakes. But I will double check part numbers to make sure!
Thanks for the video!
@@BrandonStellmach Some people have better luck than others. Much of the small hardware I would buy new anyway, the brake pad shims and caliper bracket hardware for the pads. The big things like the backing plates, calipers, and caliper brackets should be good to go if in good condition. I would order new parking brake cables.
I got my parts from a scrapped 2011 Matrix equipped with rear brakes. Verified all the part numbers are the same as an XRS. Attempting mine today if everything works out
@@kylehubick6589 That's awesome! I was hoping to have that same luck but everything was either damaged or picked over on possible parts for me.
Donde puedo comprar ese kit lo necesito y ya lo busque en Ebay y no me aparece donde lo puedo conseguir
It's not a kit. I bought all the parts separately. There is a parts list in the description if you expand it to show more.
@@jgt6008 thank you
It don't show the part number for the red hose
I bought stainless steel brakes lines from Apex Brakes. They are available in many different colors at www.apexbrakes.com or you can email Raymond Chan at raymond@apexbrakes.com as he is a sales rep for them. I ordered mine directly through him.
You’ll see, I have a 2012 Corolla and I’ve looked for these parts on the market but I can’t find it for my car
They are all available new from a dealer. Used one can be sourced from salvage yards. New aftermarket parts can be found online at places like Rock Auto. The parts are essentially the same for for 10th and 11th Gen Corollas from 2009-2019 with rear disc brakes. Others are getting the parts so they are available. Keep looking and look harder!
great video to help us DIY.. I was wondering about your corolla turbo. did you add a turbo , or was there a model that came turbo from factory. thanks
Thanks! I installed the turbo 5 1/2 years ago. It's a complete turbo kit designed by Turbokits.com and is excellent quality. If interested talk to Jesse and Grant at Turbokits.com as they are both fantastic to work with.
Marvelous video Jim will it work on my 2003 Corolla thanks 🙏 God Bless
The process would be very much the same. I know others have done this on the 9th Gen Corolla too. The only thing I'm not 100% on would be the parts that you would need. My first thought would be a Celica with rear disc brakes to get all of the parts.
Thanks again have a nice day.
Sorry Jim I have another quick question, when you ordered the callipers from Toyota do they come with the like mount that holds them onto the brake assembly? Like where the guide pins & pads go? Or did you have to get those separately as well?
Also, I’ve never bought OEM straight from Toyota & I see that online they show the diagram for these parts, so I was wondering, do these parts come all apart & you have to assemble them like in their diagrams or do they come all together assembled?
No worries, I'm always willing to help out. The calipers are sold separately from the caliper mounting bracket when buying new parts. They would be listed separately on places like Rock Auto also. If you can find a donor car you could get the entire brake assembly from a salvage yard. I would buy the OEM calipers but the caliper mounting bracket could be bought for less from places like Rock Auto as well as the dust shields. I bought my parts over time so I was lazy and just ordered them new from a local dealer parts department.
The diagrams are a vary large exploded view of the assembly and if you look at the beginning of the video I laid the parts out as they came. The calipers are already assembled so it's not like you have to put in the seals, pins, piston and all of those parts. I hope that makes sense.
@@jimsgaragetoys thank you so much sir, this is huge help
I agree with your comments could you give use a detailed ordering in order would truly be appreciated thank you sir, have a 2012 toyota corolla LE 1.8 lter
I did list the parts needed. There is no order for getting them as you need everything to complete the conversion. You can also look for many of the parts at a salvage yard. Some have lucked out and got a complete axle with everything they needed. I had no luck that way so I just began ordering the parts new.
Thanks for sharing. Just wondering how you routed the ebrake cable? Did you have any issues? Because I know that with the drum brakes it pulls from the bottom, but with the disc brakes it pulls from the top.
The new parking brake cables route the same as the drum brake cables. The final section is just routed straight to the caliper. I made a separate video when I installed them, here's the link. czcams.com/video/jweqm9c6H5k/video.html
Jim did you ever swap out the parking brake cables?
Yes, indeed! The link is in the description of this video but here it is anyway.

I have a 2013 Toyota corolla 1.8l base model with rear drum brakes. Is this a full parts list? I would definitely do this if I know what I need.
I've searched the web and it seems people have different what to do's about it for some reason.
As far as I'm aware this is the only video that could apply to my car.
I tried to make the parts list complete and I talk about each part as I install it. The only part not listed is the longer bolts needed to bolt the disc backing plate to the hub. I got those at a local hardware store but I talk about them in the video. If you can find the parts at a salvage yard you might luck out and get everything you need. The swap is very simple if you just follow me along in the video. I tried to make it easy to follow what I was doing. Thanks fir the question.
@@jimsgaragetoys hey Jim thanks for responding, I texted CEIKA and they said they only had the conversion kit for the front, if I wanted to change the rear I would have to change the axle which in your video you prove is not necessary, this is why I've been hesitant to do it. (stories are different almost every time) so I'm very thankful for your video.
@@downside1237 If you do the drum to disc conversion you can also use the rear Ceika BBK. Just order it for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS. They didn't understand what I was referring to also when I first mentioned it. Once he finally understood what I was doing in stages he confirmed that the rear would indeed work for the XRS as that is the setup I now have. I didn't know about the Ceika brake options when I was buying parts or I would have just used the Ceika rotor and caliper for the rear too. That will be a further upgrade down the road, at least most likely. That's why I painted the OEM caliper red though to match the front until that day comes.
@@jimsgaragetoys hey Jim thanks for the reply, I communicated to ceika everything you told me and they still took the same stance with the exception of them wanting to see an order number or who ordered it.
What I found searching their site was the Ceika custom big brake kit for toyota corolla E140/E150 (7-13)
Was that the one you were referring to?
If anything I'll probably just order the same stuff you got from the same places. Last question: just curious If I could get disk brakes and parts from a place like let's say rock auto wouldn't that be the same thing thanks?Sorry for being so long and thanks for all your help
@@downside1237 Yes, that is the model I used for the E140/E150. The person I was speaking with understood what I was doing. I guess when I cross that road I'll figure it out. You can oder the parts from Rock Auto if you want or any other place. I wanted new OEM calipers so I ordered them and all the small clips and parts from a dealer. I've had too many issues with generic parts when doing brake jobs. You should be fine with whatever rotors and pads you prefer.
where did you find the red calipers? or did you customize them?
I painted them. 😍😉
any tips on how to convert rear drums to rotor on 08 corolla?
It would be the same process. The brakes on the 9th and 10th Gens are very similar so the process would be the same. I know that the rear disc brakes from a 7th Gen Celica fit the 9th Gen Corolla as other have done that swap. You could use my video max a guide that would be very similar as long as you had the right parts. Heck, I'm not even sure if the rear brakes are different so maybe check part numbers at a dealer.
Jim I saw this video and wanna see if u can send me a list of what u got to do this
I listed the parts I used above in the description below the video to help everyone with part numbers.
how much did this run you ? me and my girlfriend autocross our corollas and she has a 16 LE with drums in the rear debating on doing this to hers
Cost will vary depending on new or used parts. Some people have been able to do it for next to nothing with salvage yard finds all the way up to about $1k for brand new OEM parts.
Hey Jim we are trying to get the parts
And is so hard to get the brake Dust shields
Can you please
Where did you order them
I bought them at a local Toyota dealer through the Parts Department. You could also look on Rockauto.com
what is the part that ur using behind the dust shield
Just what I explain in the video. When I had the car aligned after I installed the coilovers they had to use a shim to get the correct alignment on the rear wheels due to there being no camber adjustment.
How do I get those parts for the conversion? toyota corolla 2017
I left OEM part numbers and links in the description below the video. I bought most thing new but you could use the part numbers to look for aftermarket parts too. I bought mine through a local Toyota dealer, just check with the parts department or look online.
thank you Sir , i will try change by myself... if anything i will contact you, i want cut cost going to foreman

Just reached home . Waste petrol , waste toll , waste time ,
I have a 2017 corolla with a bent rear beam axel. A used replacement with disc brakes cost over $1200 I’m hoping I could buy a drum brakes one and swap everything onto it.
Looks like the axel would be the same only thing making them different is a bracket for disc brakes or a bracket for drum brakes.
I saw plenty of cars at the salvage yard with drum brakes. If you can get on with disc brakes though I would say get it. Everything would be ready to go other than swapping the parking brake cables.
@@jimsgaragetoys my axel already has disc brakes but the used replacement is about 1400 with tax and delivery. I found a drum brake one for $250 with 90k miles. The cost difference is way too much for me rn. I can still drive the car at 85-90 miles per hour but the rear feels a bit loose.

I listed all of the parts I used in the description. I used Toyota OEM parts other than the rotors and pads. If you want to get aftermarket parts for less then just have them look up the rear disc brake parts for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS since that came with rear disc brakes. That is what the parts department did for me at Toyota. You might also have some luck with local salvage yards finding used parts. Good luck and feel free to follow up with me. I try to answer all questions. Thanks!
Jim, looking to do this conversion to my 2013 Corolla S. Do you have the specs on the brake lines you ordered from Apex brakes? I’m in talks with Raymond over there.
There were no specs. I simply told him that I need the rear brake lines for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS.
👍
Hi Jim
I have a question and it is will the rear disc brake system from a 2010 toyota Matrix wagon fit in the 2013 toyota corolla s?
That's a good question! I don't think they will fit as the rear suspension and bolt pattern are different. I wouldn't know for sure unless I could see and compare the parts. You could look up parts for both cars and see if they are the same or different part numbers. To be sure though, just get the rear brake parts for the sedan.
@@jimsgaragetoys
I ask you the question because according to e-bay the calipers of the matrix and those of the pontiac vipe 2010 are the same and also when I look for the Brake Dust Shield plate I see the same part number of 2009 corolla xrs
@@user-gp8ec6rr2p The Vibe and Matrix are the same car under the skin so the parts will be the same. I can see the brake dust shield being the same sine that just screws onto the back of the hub. check the caliper mount part number. Also the hubs will be different due to the different bolt pattern. I suspect that a few of the parts will be the same while a few will be different. I'm not certain and that is the reason I used parts from a 10th Gen Corolla XRS sedan. The rear disc brakes on the 2014-2019 Corolla sedan are also the same.
Great DYI video Jim. I was wondering if you could add the part numbers of the Toyota parts you used? I thought all along that the rear beam needed replaced as well, so I’ve been looking for a loaded rear axle. Your approach seems acquirable. Thanks in advance.
No rear beam is needed. It's very easy to do since the rear hubs are the same and can be used with the disc brakes. I didn't pay attention to keeping the parts packing as I was going. Here are some that I got.

I used EBC Redstuff brake pads and rotors that I ordered from R1 Concepts.
That is most of the things you need. I bought 4 longer bolts from a local hardware store that were 10mm longer than the bolts that were used to attach the hub to the rear axle through the backing plate. I just took in a bolt and got the same thing but longer. I hope that this helps.

@@jimsgaragetoys did u need the brake distribution valve thing for the rear, or are they just fine without touching it, I’ve heard that u need it due to the high pressure need for drums
@@nrdslayer6942 Sorry, I forgot to mention that part of your question. There is no need to mess with anything. The ABS module takes care of any pressure distribution to each wheel. On older cars it was needed but not newer cars with ABS. Just swap the parts and you are good to go!
You have the part numbers for the backing plates
Yes, they are listed in the parts list in the description but here they are again.
Brake Dust Shield - OEM 47804-02020 & 47803-02020
Hey man thanks for this video, I’ve been wanting to do this for my Corolla for ages now, but I just don’t want to mess with my daily driver unless I know everything does work out fine with my model of Corolla.
I have a 2017 LE, I’ve already changed my brake shoes and stuff given I do a l of handbrake turns and dumb stuff and the shoes were wearing down. So I’m not like a noob when it comes to working with brakes, but I again, don’t want to order all these parts and start the conversion & then halfway realise it doesn’t work for my model of Corolla
So I guess I’m just wondering if this would work for the E170 models, specifically a 2017 LE. I’m guessing Toyota didn’t go as far as changing the Corolla’s rear drum brake assembly too much for a wide range of years and models but I still want to be 100% sure.
Everyone online says this can’t be done easily (as you have).
You should be good to go. The rear drum and disc brakes are the same on Corolla sedans from 2009-19.

@@normancervantesgar You're welcome!

@@jimsgaragetoys thanks. Will probably upgrade my girlfriends brakes soon. Appreciate the videos👍🏻
So if you don't have coilovers, you would not need the spacer/shim ?
Correct. I needed the shims because I lowered my car and the rear suspension has no adjustment. If you are not lowered or when you get an alignment your rear suspension is okay then you wouldn't need the shims.
Is there a specific sizing associated with the shim?? And what’s your ride height? Just getting into cars and this is definitely the look I’m going for
@@tkquanboyles7873 Good question. I had my car aligned at a shop and they determined the size of the shim from the alignment specs. I was just leaving the shim installed so that my alignment was still good.
So, is it okay to drive without parking brake cable? Do you have a video on that part of the job?
It really depends on where you have to park! I will have a video on the parking brake cables but I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to install them. Mine is parked in a flat garage so it hasn't been a problem. I'm going to use my buddies lift to have better access to swap them out.

@@rubenjuarez9647 Me too! I've been driving it with the brake upgrades and it feels good. I just need to get to my friends house that has a lift so I have access.
What length hub bolts did you need?
I believe that they were about 5mm longer and I think that I say it in the video when I'm working on that point. It's been long enough since I've done it that I don't remember 100% off the top of my head. It didn't take much extra length though.
hey Jim what size are your backing plate bolts?
I just bought the same size as OEM but I believe they were 5mm longer. I believe that I mentioned it during the video but I would have to watch it again. I took one to the local hardware store and got a longer one but in the same strength rating.
@@jimsgaragetoys thanks i’ll give that a try 👍🏽
so what do you as for as a replacement calliper or brake pads do you go to autozone or napa what do you ask for now that you removed the drums???? replacement parts ?????
I will get the exact parts that I ordered. In my case it's a rear brake caliper or rear brake pads for a 2009-10 Corolla XRS. These parts are in fact the same as any Corolla sedan in North America from 2009-2019 that came with a rear disc brake so the parts are pretty common and easy to come by. See, that wasn't so hard now was it? 😎😍
Does the process require upgrading the master cylinder?
Nope! 🔥🔥🔥
@@jimsgaragetoys awesome thank you so much! I was looking at doing this but was under the impression I needed to! I appreciate your super detailed tutorial, it’s fantastic!!
@@ThexCondor Thanks! So happy that it's helping others!
How much was it all in all?
Ps. Loved the video
So if you bought all new parts you would be between $700-$1200 depending on where you buy the parts from and if they are OEM or not. If you can get them used I've seen people do this for as little as $150. Start looking around for clean used parts and see if you luck out!
Why would you want to change drum over the disc drum last longer than not smart
Because drum brakes overheat much quicker and lose braking performance when driven hard. After turbocharging my Corolla I needed better braking performance when driving in the canyons and mountains. Disc brakes also are easier to service and change the pads compared to brake shoes on drum brakes. And finally disc brakes look much better behind a nice looking wheel. This is why most cars now come with 4 wheel disc brakes. Even the same year Corolla XRS had rear disc brakes and it only had 158hp compared to the 230hp my Corolla Turbo has. Name me any car with over 200hp that has rear drum brakes in the last 20 years? Technology improves and disc brakes also allow easy pad changes for different braking performance.
So this would work on 2011 Corolla s??
Yes, your 2011 Corolla S in exactly the same as what my 2009 Corolla S is. In fact, the 2009-13 10th Gen Corollas are all identical as far as the rear drum brake assembly. You can do this!
@@jimsgaragetoys yes!!! I appreciate your reply thanks
So basically i can get the whole brake system out of a 2020 corolla and it should work just get new e brake cables right
The 2020 Corolla is different from the 2009-2019 Corolla. What year is your Corolla? Mine is a 10th Gen Corolla that sold from 2009-2013 in North America. The 11th Gen Corolla Sedan uses the same rear axle and rear brakes so they will also work. It was sold from 2014-2019.
I'm trying to convert my rear brake shoes to disc/rotors.. any links on where i can find any?
It is a 2016 Toyota Corolla Fielder
Also is it that these ones used in this video can be used as well? If so, is there an entire conversion kit that i can purchase or i would have to get all the parts individually?
I'm not familiar with the Corolla Fielder. I'm in the US and there is no kit that is sold. There are models that come with rear disc brakes and I just bought those parts. I did list what I bought in the description below the video if you want to see.
@@jimsgaragetoys okay, thanks much
hi do you need to change out the master cylinder?
No, it works great with the stock master cylinder.
So I drive a 2010 Corolla S. I can’t seem to find any kits for the conversion. Does the XRS parts fit the same? I’ve seen seen people swap too using hand brake pads. Blah.
There are no kits for it but the parts from a 2009-10 XRS is what I used. Many have luck finding a complete axle but I never did. I slowly bought most parts brand new over about a year.
Where can I find the part of metal that holds the caliper because Im trying to find it and I can't I don't know the name is the metal that has the holes to hold the caliper help me please
I believe that you are asking about the caliper bracket. You can order them new from Toyota or try to find them new from online sellers. The other option would be to look at salvage yards for used ones.
If you want the new part numbers from Toyota they are listed in the parts list below the video. If you can find them used you will be able to save some good money
@@jimsgaragetoys I mean I don’t know if is the caliper bracket is the part that hold the caliper and is installed in the dust shield and the hub for the wheels. in the video is the minute 7:19
@@TavarezRay That's the back side of the brake dust shied. They are OEM parts 47804-02020 & 47803-02020 at the 7:19 mark.
@@jimsgaragetoys Yes I know it is the dust shield but the order is I think is the metal that hold the caliper bracket and after is the dust shield and after the wheel hub so I looking for the metal that hold the caliper brake
Jim, don't want racing rotors do they have stock , OH by the way found the shops down below and #s didn't see shim kit what did you order from Toyota just wondering 🤔 thanks again lol please get back to me thank you again....
I pulled the numbers off of the packages. They can also look up the part numbers from a 2009-10 Corolla XRS. That's what they did for me originally. You can get solid rotors, slotted, or slotted/drilled like mine. Just look on the website and select the rotors you want.
I have a 2012 what i need to get to get my rear brakes ?
The parts you need to do the disc brake conversion are listed in the description. You can buy new parts or use used ones if you can find them. Just follow the video!
Do you think these parts will work on a 2008 Corolla S? Everything looks the same.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe that the 9th Gen rear disc brakes are the same for the 10th Gen and 11th Gen. You could always check with a dealer parts department to make sure.
Do you think those parts wil work on a 8th gen Rolla? It pretty much looks like mines. I know suspension parts are interchangeable with the 8th gen. So maybe this would work too?
How much did all those parts cost?
I'm not sure about the 8th Gen, but the 9th Gen is the same as the 10th Gen. I believe that the 7th and 8th Gens are similar. Check part numbers and see if they are different for the 8th Gen and 10th Gen.
@@jimsgaragetoys oops my bad. So 2004 is a ninth gen? Thanks for the clarification😁
@@96MustangBoy1 Yes, 2003-2008 are 9th Gen Corollas in North America. These parts should work for the 9th-11th Gen Corollas but make sure. You can check online that part numbers are the same for the 9th & 10th Gen. Just do your research. Worst case scenario is to get the parts from a 9th Gen Corolla that has rear disc brakes.
Do u know where I can take my car to do this work for the breaks
Any brake shop or general mechanic can do this work. You can do it if you follow my steps, it was very easy
I'm reading comments but I'm not familiar how to get numbers anybody can help would be greatly appreciated
What numbers? Part numbers? Just look at the description below the video. I listed the part numbers I used but you can search for aftermarket parts too or get them used from a salvage yard where you won't be dealing with part numbers.
Like where u find the parts it I been looking all around plz thanks
I couldn't find used parts so I just bought them new from a dealer. The parts are all OEM except the rotors and pads.
Where did you get your parts from?
I list the OEM part numbers that were bought from a dealer but you can buy them online from many places. The other parts are also listed as to where I bought them.
