Educate me on Tacoma brakes

boy go change pads and rotors on a late 90s gmc one ton and then tell me how easy and simple Toyota brake designs are.

 

Trust me, im capable of diagnosing issues with my vehicles. I didnt get upsold on a set of brakes, so dont worry!

 

I think his point wasn't whether or not "warping" is a word, but rather whether it technically applied to brake rotors or not.

Wood and plastic warps.

 

Ill never know haha.

 

Install your own studs in the rotors too.

 

I'd have a comment if I could just wear the fucking things out! 70K and looks like new WTF??!?! I wanna get dirty!

 

Subaru brat 4x4 front pads are not fun to do, you have to take apart the caliper ebrake assy to compress it

 

Al least it's not the new Lexus with the electronic parking brake that comes on when the car is in park and you can't get the rear rotor off unless the car is running and in neutral. Or the Ford Taurus with the actuator calipers where one side is reverse threaded. Or the Audi where you have to pull off the electronic actuator, then turn the bolt with a 14point torx socket while pressing the piston in with a twist piston tool.

 

So you're saying our plain jane low tech Taco brakes are easier? LoL

 

Bingo!!!!!! And cheaper. I like cheaper. Leaves more money for mods.

 

Yeah whole hub assembly has to come off plus the studs.. who tf thought that was a good idea

 

Some engineer that gets paid more than me. A toddler could've designed it better with playdoh

 

Best way to ID a BMW driver? Just sit and wait, they'll tell you!

 

and I thought ford won the award for ass backwards engineering. nope gm takes the cake with the brakes alone.

 

I think ford took the cake again with the 6.0 diesel.

 

cant change oil pan on a 2.7 taco unless you drop the suspension on a gen 1

that's why I choose JB weld when the weld rotted through

 

wait.. you guys have 4 pistons? my truck is defective..i only have 1

 

That's a by product of only having 5 lug nuts

 

Yeah, I was in a friend of mines shop and he was showing me what he had to do to get the rotors off a Chevy like that. I was shocked that it was put together like that. I don't remember what he said the bill was, but it was a LOT. As long as you're in there, you might as well do new wheel bearings. They could have easily designed it so the rotors slide on the outside like everyone else, but nooooo, they had to put the rotors behind the hubs.
