    Hammer time, unless they had the threaded hole like a subie. Thread the proper pitch bolt in and they pop off.

    True, either look at the dealer measurement or go buy a cheap micrometer and measure yourself.

    How about watch a couple YouTube videos and do it yourself. It’s easier than installing suspension.

    Yeah I’ve seen guys do stop tech rotors and trd pads for cheaper.
    Again you pay to have authorized Toyota technicians perform the work.
    Plus, if your uncle Billy does it in your shed you don’t get to wait around for hours or a free shitty car wash.

    Nothing against someone taking their vehicle in for maintenance.
    Nothing wrong with that. But taking it in to the dealership for $603 front brake job with turned rotors. Ouch. Feel like you gotta know better.

    lol!!!
    Innocent till proven guilty. I roasted my new pads and rotors in 3,000 miles after the new tires wheels and bumper.
    Couldn't handle any braking until I upgraded the brake size.

    Was the fluid even dirty? Could have saved yourself $200 right there.

    Next time put out the feelers here first. You already have two people that would have gladly helped you. Doing it yourself would have easily saved you enough money to buy the beer to compensate them for their time.

    You could jack the vehicle up. Remove the wheels. Remove the calipers. Remove the rotors. Get in another car. Drive to a machine shop. Have them machined. And drive them back home. Mount them. Reinstall the calipers and replace the wheels in 30 mins.
    Wow. Impressive.

    Holy guacamole. That’s a bit on the steep side. Next time I’d just buy the OEM parts online yourself and either DIY or take it to a reputable independent mechanic. If you haven’t done the front brakes on these trucks before, it’s a very easy vehicle to learn on.
