2011 Toyota Highlander AWD 

Rear Brake and Rotor Replacement. When a brake job initially doesn't go a quickly as anticipated and the owner needs the vehicle back ASAP...
The first 9 minutes of video jumps into the beginning of the tear-down and inspection, but the owner is pressed for time...
 Toyota's CHEAP capped lug nuts start me off on the wrong foot. One cap twisted off and took me an hour to remove what was left. As I'm cleaning up the hub, the owner calls me for an update, and we realize there isn't enough time to perform all of what is necessary to complete the whole job, before he needs it back. 
 Later... I pick up where I left off, for a fairly detailed, full cleanup and install of a new set of brake pads and rotors. I demonstrate how the parking brake shoes are inspected and how the shoes are adjusted for the new rotor. Caliper bracket is descaled, resurfaced, and coated to slow/prevent future rust. The slide pins are cleaned up, lubricated properly, and reinstalled. "Wrinkle wrinkle!"

"You've got no more excuses... Pick up those wrenches!"

 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.
