2014 Corolla S Front and Rear pads - Part 1 - The Front Pads - Auto Repair

It's very first front brake pad replacement!

 Headed over to an old friend's house to put some new brake pads in his 2014 Toyota Corolla S.
Garage doors open, one camera, and one floodlight, I'll bring you step by step through replacing your own front brakes with bare bones, basic tools. The back brakes are replaced, in the next video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDBQKfICPKk
 The owner of this Corolla stated that he had no vibration or pulsing in either the steering wheel or brake pedal during braking, and no noise... and basically just wants preventative service! No sense in disturbing happy rotors! Mildly stiff slide pins (the seized one was on the other side of the car, and no space for recording), and a nice layer of young rust scaling that needs to be cleaned up AND COATED before installing the new hardware clips. This is a MUST in the "Salt Belt" and many other northern channels will confirm! 
 THIS right here, is the 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 for premature brake pad failures in our area. Although not performed, it is also recommended to REPLACE/FLUSH BRAKE FLUID EVERY 4 YEARS (see "Is brake fluid HYGROSCOPIC ?")

 This is what it's like filming a brake job, in the salt belt... during.... "challenging times".

Auto repairs for the "Do-it-yourself" mechanic...

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
