How do you change the brake pads on a Toyota Corolla?

Answer 1

First you stick-shift your car then put blocks in front of the car so it wont move. Open the hood of your car then find the master cylinder if necessary. Remove the brake fluid until half way full. Raise the hood of your car with a car jack. Remove the rear tire or wheel assembly. Use the socket wrench to remove the caliper mounting bolts. Remove the brake pads form the caliper. Also remove any shims, springs, wear indicators and support plates from the caliper. Return the support plates to the caliper bracket. Place the wear indicators from the old brake pads on the new brake pads. Place the shims on the outside of each brake pad and insert the pads into the caliper bracket. Use the recommended piston caliper tool to turn clockwise while pressing it into the caliper bore. Place the caliper over the brake pads. Insert and tighten the caliper mounting bolts. finally lower your car to the ground pump the brake pedal a few times to seat the brake pads. do this trying to move your car. Add the fluid to the master cylinder container. And last try not to do any hard stopping
