After market brake calipers

Factory calipers arrived

 

Whats the bleeder look like? That was the only part I noticed on my Napa one that was different from the one I took off.

 

Pretty easy job. Did it earlier this week, no issues with driving.

 

Those don’t look half bad, mine are so rusted the clips that hold the rubber boots on are almost nonexistent. Spent over an hour beating the pins out to install new ones and found the pads rusted to the calipers. I live in an area where they put a ton of salt on the roads almost weekly. I need to change mine out but Toyota wants close to three hundred per unit so was looking for an alternative unit that wasn’t a rebuild. Saw a few on rock auto that say they are new not rebuild, RAYBESTOS was one of them.

 

Mine of you want them.

 

Too bad am in NB, the shipping would kill me from Ont.

 

man I should have replaced those brake lines as well. Might do that next time bleed the brakes.

 

Maybe not, send me your shipping info.

 

Would be Moncton NB, wouldn’t need the rotors as I replaced mine in February 2023 with Toyota rotors and TRD pads. What year are yours off? Did you do an upgrade?

 

Came off of my 2013 but then replaced the driver side I believe about 4-5 years ago and then the passenger side 2 years ago.

Found the perfect box for them as well. I replaced my OEM with the 6 Piston STOPTECH BBK.

 

I tried the Napa ones. Ended up setting a calendar reminder to take them off yearly to “warranty” them as inevitably at least one piston would be seized or tough.

This was always after off-roading. They’re warm….steep descents, always ending in a mud hole or creek (Thanks Ohio/Kentucky)

My new solution is also the stoptech 6 pot BBK. Quite pleased so far. Had to do the smaller kit for my 16s.

 

Nobody tells you how dusty your wheels get lol! But man, do they stop!

 

mine don’t get dusty really at all. I might drive 5k/year though. They’re the stoptech street performance pads. Not a huge fan of them as they feel like stock to me. Anything more bitey squeals.

 

Went with the SOS kit front and rear.

 

Anything else needed when you went the BBK in the rear? Did you get the ebrake as well?

 

Yes, I opted for the ebrake, and Sequoia BB. Everything came with the kit.
