BrakesDiscussions about the brake system in your vehicle and brake products.
This is a discussion thread titled "Brake replacement", within the Brakes forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
I have an 01' Tundra and just replaced the front pads yesterday, what a pain. I can appreciate how easy it is supposed to be, not having to pull the calipers off and all, but the top pin on both sides was a biotch to get out.
I replaced the hardware and put alittle antisieze on the pins, hopefully next time they will not hang.
I have an 01 tundra as well. I need rotors and pads. I was looking at brembo or raysbest rotors on advance auto website. Seems straight forward as in I can order the ones for my truck. As for the break pads, a lot of them have lengths. My question is can I put any pads on that are listed for my yr/make or do I need a measurement first? Thanks!!
The short pads fit the original caliper used from 01-03 after that the factory changer to a larger calipers and the longer pads were used.
The reason they list it this way is because many truck have been update the larger calipers used after 03. Check this thread: Upgrade your early Tundra Brakes In 1 hour
The factory changed some under warranty when there was complaints and now many owners are doing this change themselves.

I own a 2002 SR5 V8 Toyota Tundra and want to do the front brake upgrade. When a parts store asks me what parts I need and ask for the year and model, do I tell them it's for a 2003 or newer Tundra or what?
I've been reading all of the posts, but it gets pretty confusing.

Rotors are the same for all years to the new generation. Stay away from crossdrilled rotors, simply a waste of money. If you buy calipers and pads for the 03- 06 you'll be covered.

You will need some small parts bolts and brake lines from Toyota. I have the pics to do a step by step on this and will most likely start on that this weekend.

All a man really needs for happiness in this world is a good woman, a faithful dog, and a big-a$$ed set of tires on his truck.
