how to replace break pads on 2001 4runner
break them into pieces after drilling them and just slide them off.
Your rotors on the front are warped replace the rotors and break pads ane it will be fine
I went to a local shop today and they charged me $306 just to replace my FRONT brake pads and rotors
You remove the caliper only to replace pads, and then caliper mounting bracket to replace rotor.
disconnect it from your brake pedal lever.
get the rotors cut and replace the brake pads
You can purchase break rotors online at Rotorsonline.com. Putting on break rotors is a little time consuming. You will have to take the tires completely off to put the rotors back on. It will be good if you had a vehicle lift or a really good jack.
Remove the wheel(s), remove break caliper (set aside on a block of wood so that the break line doesn't take any stress) then simply pull off the rotor and replace with new rotor. Installation is the reverse of removal.
sounds like your break rotors could be warped.
Some as the pads and rotors break in but it shouldn't be excessive.
