Thumbs up Re: Upgrade your early Tundra Brakes In 1 hour

Excellent info, thanks a lot for the research and the time put into this. This should be a sticky if not already. I'll be replacing my pads soon so now is the time for this.

I think I know why you are having a problem. Put in that you have a 2004 Tundra/Sequoia, not a 2001-2003. Then it will only give you the choices for the upgraded brakes. Same with your local auto store. Tell 'em you have an 2004 and the parts they give you will be for the upgrade. At the Toyota dealership (I got the brake tubes and bolts there) he asked me what year and I said 2004, even though I have a 2001 because I did not want to expalin to him what I was doing. I have had no problems with the upgradred calipers (2 months, now). I list the Raybestos part numbers in a previous post.

Are the rotors the same for 2000-2006?

Meaning if one is to get 2004 calipers for there 2000 do you need different rotors also?

any tundra made about the Tsb after sept 2003 will have the new Updated Caliper's which make one hell of a difference vs the Pos ones before .Rotors do not need to be changed unless there really thin or in bad shape and it's the same..

Yes rotors are the same all years up to the new generation.

Default Re: Upgrade your early Tundra Brakes In 1 hour

After reading through this excellent thread, I am just about ready to place my order for parts. My local mechanic is willing to perform the TSB upgrade per the instructions on this thread using parts I purchase. Here are the parts that I am planning to buy for this project. All parts listed below are based on previous recommendations on this thread including more recent information on non OEM part availability.

Parts with Part Numbers through Rock Auto
FRC11549 Raybestos Front; 5.3" Pad Plate Left Caliper Semi-Loaded
FRC11550 Raybestos Front; 5.3" Pad Plate Right Caliper Semi-Loaded
435120C011 Brembo front brake rotor standard (Quantity 2)
NOTE: NHT 5.2" calipers were used by one of the members

Toyota Parts
Brake Line Toyota part #473150C020
Brake Line Toyota part #473180C020
Bolts 4 needed Toyota part #9008010298
Shim Kits Toyota part #0494535080
Brake Pads Toyota part #0446535290

It seems as if everyone has a different recommendation for brakes. I am considering OEM Toyota pads, Raybestos ceramic and Hawk HPS. Please make recommendations on brakes or any of the parts above.

Hi, I'm sure you're tired of hearing from people about your post, but I've just joined Tundra Solutions and the information that you've provided is great. I read one of your later posts where you indicated that you didn't like the PBR Ceramic pads because of dusting and was wondering if you know the correct OEM Toyota pad part number that I should use if I go with all of the other parts (rotors & calipers specifically) for my brake fix? Also, would it be worthwhile to used stainless steel braided brake hoses? Thanks

Raybestos ceramics work great with little dust. I use them on my drilled/slotted Brembros and will again when it comes time.

Depending on the pads you use, you may not need the shim kit. My Raybestos Ceramics came with shims. The dealer wanted >$50 for the Toyota shims. I asked him... "What are they made of...gold?" Seemed a little steep.

The Brembo rotor I purchased through Rock Auto was warped. Not their fault as it comes direct from the Brembo warehouse. But it was a pain to have my truck in pieces and to find out the damn rotor was rubbing on the caliper (when there were no pads in it!!) I bought one at the local Autozone and had to return one Brembo rotor. I always thought Brembos were top rated, but now I'm not sure. Thankfully, Rock Auto has a great return policy and covers the shipping back.

The Toyota pad number is 0446535290. They list for $63.00
SS brake hose are not necessary for normal street driving. Factory hose are capable of lasting the life of the vehicle in most cases.
If you do a lot of off roading, they are good insurance.
Thanks,
Mike

I think most people who have posted here have done the upgrade. If your thinking about doing it I suggest you read the hole thing from the start. New part numbers for calipers and new source have become available since my original post. The process of doing it stays the same.
