Bar none, the best video out there. Thank you! Still amazes me how you got the pins out of the old caliper. Luckily, I was changing both calipers, but I'd be SOL if I was keeping the calipers. I tried greasing them with 3 different products, and those pins were not moving. Completely rusted in there. In the end, I took out the calipers with brake pads.
Looks like I have the same problem. Too much off roading and not cleaning in there afterwards, meaning the mud and crud from off-roading held moisture enough to rust-weld the pins to the calipers. So a simple pad replacement I guess will turn out to be calipers too.
Great video… had an inside brake piston seize up/dragging on my 07 Taco and followed your video to repair it. Apparently a common problem on these trucks which was obvious when we pulled the pads and noticed uneven pad wear from side to side. We also found another potential more dangerous issue. The brake coils just behind the wheel well rubber flap and exhaust header were almost rusted through… I can’t believe they didn’t fail. We replaced it which wasn’t hard since you video shows how to bleed the brakes. A quick brake pad swap turned out to be a bigger job however your video really helped my son and I out. Thanks again!
In 2018 I replaced both my calipers...left side was a toyota OEM and the right side was a Duralast Front Driver Side Brake Caliper C6051 guess which one failed at 230K? The Toyota OEM!!! So now I'm replacing the toyota OEM left side with the Duralast...
A lot of times it’s the same manufacturer that produces oem and aftermarket parts they just put the Toyota symbol on there so we can pay the big bucks for it. A lot of times if your car is over 5 years old and goes to the dealership they charge you oem parts and put aftermarket parts on there. Can never trust the dealers or their parts 😬
Excellent explanation and video, thanks for taking so much time to post. I’ll be doing this tomorrow. Do you recommend replacing both calipers if one is sticking? And if you don’t have the new caliper yet, is there a way to plug the line temporarily? Then I can take the old one with me, make sure new one is same and avoid the core charge. Thanks!!
No problem thank you for watching and hope it helps you out with the repair. If you’re in there replacing one caliper I would recommend replacing the other one also to freshen it all up and also save yourself the headache of having to do the other side later on. There’s a special tool called a brake hose pincher like the Lisle 22850 to clamp the brake hose so it doesn’t leak or you can also try to use hose pinch clamp pliers just don’t apply too much pressure to the hose so you don’t damage it. Good luck!
I’m glad I live in the south.. the amount of extra money it takes to maintain a vehicle in the rust belt or up north ain’t close to the amount I spend on mosquito repellent.
Mine was much worse and I had to replace calipers. Pin ends peined out before budging. Be sure to wash after mudding, especially where the pins are if you can get the water there.
@@happycamper6352 yup I did a core remand on a caliper with the swollen pins cut in half with a dremmel but still stuck and the pads still in it...Just removed the entire thing and put it in a box...

Outstanding, a real-time step-by-step walkthrough. Thanks man.

Haha I guess the only way to win is live in the rust belt and buy your trucks from the south
Good vid ty
Got rust ?
Toyota trucks sure do love they’re rust

@@happycamper6352 Just spin the pins and put a little lubricant/grease on them every oil change/once a year
Thx!!
