    Anyone have a link to a good step-by-step video (Youtube) for changing the front rotors on a 2016 4x4 Tacoma???

    I have new rotors and pads (had for over a month already) but I am always afraid something will go wrong when I try to fix/change something important on my truck.

    Years ago, I swapped front drums to discs on my '68 Bronco with no problems.

    THANKS!!! Pops

    If you can do a disc brake conversion, you won’t have any issues.

    take wheel off, take two mounting bolts for calipers off then pull off rotors. Reverse for install. Haven’t pulled mine off yet so don’t know if there is a screw holding rotors on or not. If there is it will be near the wheel lugs.

    Took 4 hours...3 hours for driver's side - FARGIN rust (was out of PB Blaster) and awkward getting the caliper bolts out. Passenger side only took an hour. Rust wasn't nearly as bad and all bolts came out much easier.

    Thanks to you guys for the info and encouragement.

    Oh, the truck stops nice with no pulsating now.
