What Parts do I need to do a Front Rotor and Brake Pad Change?

Typically do all my own maintenance but I'm not interested in doing my own brakes and have a shop that will do them for free for me, so long as I get the parts.

Pads
I believe the pads are part # 04465-04090 here: https://parts.frontiertoyota.com/oem-parts/toyota-oem-front-brake-pad-set-2016-2021-tacoma-446504090

Rotors
I believe the rotors are part # 4351204052 here: https://toyotaparts.bochtoyotasouth...rotor-fits-2005-2019-toyota-tacoma-4351204052

Are these the correct and only parts I need? I literally need to just show up with the parts, but I want to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks guys!

 

New shims.

 

Like these? What are shims used for?

I normally stick with OEM, but I had warped OEM rotors and went with PowerStop. Very happy with them. I am all on pavement so drilled and slotted is not an issue for me. Here is a link to the kit I used on my 2016.

Part of maintenance the same way you replace your brake pads.

Don't like EBC pads?

 

Front brakes. Rotors and pads are simple, clean guide pins, check boots, brake grease, shims. And your done,

 

I doubt you'll need shims, they're usually stainless steel. You might need the caliper retaining/guide pins. They can wear developing deep notch's....little brake grease too.

 

I tried ebc pads with my ebc rotors on my tundra. I liked the toyota oem ceramic pads better.

 

Does anyone have the part number for the shims I need to bring in?

 

Please post the shop that does free brake work I’d like to get in on that deal

 

Works for some, not for others.

Could just be the vehicle itself too; I've had many different cars and liked the EBC's on them including some of my Corvettes.

Just bought EBC greens about a day ago for my GX470.

 

Akebono brake pads. Put them on my 07. Used AC Delco rotors quiet.

The ebc green pads left a lot of black brake dust on my tundra's aluminum wheels when I tried them. The stock toyota pads never did. As far as the operation, it seemed I needed more pedal pressure when braking with a trailer than with the stock pads, otherwise they were fairly similar.

 

If you have the brakes serviced regularly, all you should need is pads and rotors, the brand is your choice. If you don't get the brakes serviced regularly, you might need pads, rotors, and calipers as the slide pins will seize up. Once that happens you might get them to free up again but you really need calipers at that point. And that just might ruin your free labor deal.

 

+1 on EBC green stuff pads being dust monsters. Not happy with mine but they work well and the wheels clean up easy.

don’t forget to get some dot 3/4 brake fluid and replace that old dirty fluid while they are doing your brakes.

 

Yeah, it's almost impossible not loose some brake fluid unless you open the reservoir to remove some, before starting the brake job. I've remedied this by taking a turkey baster, and sucking a fair amount out of the reservoir before spreading the calipers.

 

+1 on brake fluid, even clean looking fluid may have a decent amount of water in it.

 

Nothing is free. Lol...probably charging him $150 for an "oil change"

 

Instead of pushing that dirty brake fluid back up into the lines, line-lock the flex hose, open the bleeder and let it come out while compressing the pistons..
