    I need to do the same thing to my 2012 rc 2wd, except i need the drum pads replaced too. I've changed pads and rotors before, but how much of a pain is it to change the drum pads. Or should I just let the dealer handle it?

    It can be a real bitch if you do not have the tools.
    The rears are known for being stubborn to get out

    They're not too bad. O'reilly's has the special drum brake tools that make the job a lot easier. As long as you have the patience and want to learn you will be alright. Tip of advice is to just do one side at a time. Pull the other drum off so you have reference to see how it goes together.

    I put a set of those on my 08 Tacoma but used the
    $108 KOE137 Front Replacement Brake Pads and Rotors Kit Autospecialty For 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner [Models with 12.56" Front Rotors]| 2007-2014 FJ Cruiser | 2005-2022 Tacoma 6 Lug Models
    KOE137 kit. Absolutely loved them ! I just traded that truck a couple weeks ago and those rotors/pads had about 20,000 on them without any issues whatsoever !

    They aren't super hard to do and there is quite a few youtube videos out there that can help if your new to changing out drum shoes; Do purchase a new Hardware kit for the rear drums; its usually very cheap 6-12 dollars at most; this will include new springs and everything you need to replace the rear shoes with. You can reuse the old springs and installation hardware but I recommend against it since its just so cheap to replace them. I sometimes damage the old hardware when I remove the old drum shoes off.

    You might as well do them yourself. A- you gain experience and the knowledge for the next time around and B- you save money. :)

    Unfortunately, there is no one-stop shop for obtaining all the brake hardware from 'sponsor worthy' brake vendors at a good price. I normally put in an order to Autoanything, Amazon, possibly Tirerack, and Ebay-storefronts to guarantee I get the absolute lowest price on brake hardware and fluid. The cost is that it usually takes 1 week for all the hardware to arrive from 2-3 different sellers.

    I tried using that Wagner crap from advanced auto once - if you don't care about how a car feels, then this is the hardware for you. This kind of hardware will go bad in a year and will have terrible, imprecise stopping performance.

    How long to the OEM brake drums go until you need to service them? I've done the fronts but I don't think I've serviced the rears and you can't just look at them to see how much pad thickness you have left...
