Come along with Eric O. at the SMA shop as he has to work on his own vehicle! Yes even his stuff needs attention once in a while. In this video he shows how to replace the front brake pads and rotors on his 2013 Toyota Tundra TRD 5.7 4x4. These trucks use a 4 piston brake caliper and are unique in that sense. We use all OEM parts (Made in USA) and show how to clean lubricate and install them. Enjoy!!

    Thank you for the Tundra brake video. I'm not a natural mechanical person but I try to do what I can, or actually what I have confidence to try. Your video was the most helpful to give me confidence to do my own brake job.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg .A says:

    BIG THANK YOU ERIC from Connecticut USA . I couldnt get the pistons pushed in with my regular tool. The vise grip hack woorked great. You saved me some $$ from buying a special tool.

    Thanks man

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nathan B says:

    Just ran down to Toyota today and picked up OEM front Rotors and pads with shim kit for my 07 FJ Cruiser. Thank you for showing how to fit the shims to the pads really helpful information. 👍🏻 I hope you and your family are well. 🙂

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Abdelhadi says:

    I love your channel sir and I’m planning on buying a tundra 2013 myself. Has it been reliable for you and do you still have jt

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G Brian Mullinax says:

    Would love to see more Tundra videos, especially the transmission service. Did you do one and I just missed it?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NOMOREMARXISTS says:

    Show the rear brakes on these . Those are the real PITA. Show how to install an aftermarket rotor by grinding off that tint ridge that protrudes too far so it squeaks and drags constantly. I used a 4.5” grinder to do one and it worked beautifully. It did take some fooling around to figure out where it was dragging though

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sam Scrapla says:

    Just did mine after my truck repeatedly locking up on the highway and the lower caliper piston closest to the hub would not compress it was seized open.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Pomygalski says:

    I have a 2017 Tundra CC. I have a recurring problem with warping or uneven front rotors. What would you recommend for a replacement? I have heard that the dealer rotors are somewhat not as good as aftermarket.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CascadeSprings says:

    "14 MPG, need all the efficiency you can get". Lol. Thank you for another informative video. TU

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike marshall says:

    Please service your Toyota auto trans. We need to know the best procedure.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Angel Morales says:

    You ever get a squeaky noise after installing brakes? did everything as seen in your video and watched a few others, but I keep getting a squeaky noise when I drive down the road. it goes away when I push the brake pedal down but it comes right back.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Camaro Child says:

    I'm getting strong Jonathan Hillstrand vibe from Eric's voice and speech patterns.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dean Sapp says:

    Eric, those pads pass Maryland state inspection

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dean Sapp says:

    10k miles left on them pads

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SC Flooring says:

    More tundra videos please!!!!

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ben says:

    I dig the Toyota maintenance! I’d love to see you work on my 4Runner.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maynard Harper says:

    Very Helpful.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pete aiello says:

    Great video!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James P says:

    Interesting to hear how Toyota parts are made here and Chevy isn’t!!!

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rusty Terry says:

    Very helpful, keep up the good videos. And continue with the tundra service videos.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phil Robeson says:

    The parts store is telling me I should get the rotors that have the slots and holes in them and ceramic pads…do you agree?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B Souza says:

    More Tundra maintenance…yes 👍. Oh, and if you can do it, I can do it? NOT!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick M says:

    Great vid thanks. Dude, put some safety glasses on. God bless

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clynikal says:

    I know I’m watching a 3 year old vidjao but all us Aussie land cruiser owners are scratching our heads over here wondering why you didn’t start by removing the caliper. A brake spreader is standard kit down here, but also we don’t have that rust so the pots can be pushed back in by hand.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Juan Rios says:

    i can do it

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Omaha419 says:

    Just did my front brakes on my 07 today, thanks for the video.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars slikballa says:

    i like toyotas but they have a bed rusting problem

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars slikballa says:

    as much as i love ford and chevy i hate the fact that parts are not made in the good ol USA

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jim Alcott says:

    Yes, more on service…

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 66 towing says:

    It is just a joy to watch a craftsman in action. Supreme confidence is clearly demonstrated by the fact that Eric is making fun of himself when he almost installs the pins the wrong way instead of simply hiding that part of the video before uploading it on YouTube keeping it real for all of us.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars R1250 GSA Bloke says:

    Hi Eric, I made stainless steel pins for the rear brakes on my RAV4. Makes servicing so easy. Great video, great advice. Take care young man. Joe.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robin Stewart says:

    I love my 2016 Tundra Limited 4×4 Crewmax, so obviously would like to see more videos related to it.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars abbas says:

    top anti rattle spring???

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Quijote says:

    I'm late to the comment section on the video, but I couldn't agree more about buying parts made in the U.S. It is a shame that the big three manufacture most of their parts overseas, whereas Toyotas and Hondas, arguably better vehicles, are made in the U.S. with American parts.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B-MAN says:

    Thank goodness my 6 pot brembos are painted….. then again I live in Canada soooooooooo… TIS BE A CRAP SHOOT!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kerry Juntunen says:

    Thank you! Great video. Well done.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Rackley says:

    Great stuff Mr owe. Sweet 👌

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cruz Ortiz says:

    You’re not very mechanically incline, I see you struggle too much with little things.
    Good video dough!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Lewey says:

    I would like to see the other service work Trans, brake fluid replacement thanks for the video.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mini Banana says:

    What brake lube you using? 🙂

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Brake says:

    Loving it, south main is the best, did the fronts on the truck today and I just used the old pad on both piston faced and squeeze and lock each side

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billy Connor says:

    I think I'll take it to the shop and pay someone to take care of my breaks! Looks like fun!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Sure love to see more tundra in the videos

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Asap Rulers says:

    I want to see you torque them! I know you do but I want to see the professional do it

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Henry Ostman says:

    I have a 12 Tacoma with 4WD, did a brake job last year, those pins were hell to remove, a lot of hammering and swearing, they was really rusted, wasn't a lot of other rust, I live in central PA so we don't get the salt treatment youse guys get (I used to live in upstate NY and know). I think I'll get my mechanic to do next brake job. Toyota doesn't seem to do the mousetrap wires as well as others, just try changing a headlight bulb, I finally gave up on that and took it to dealer, his techie cursed as much as I did. I think the problem is that they are made in the USA and not Japan. The ones on MB and BMW work better IF you can fit your hand behind them.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Orlando V says:

    Thank you for sharing good tips

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nick Gustafson says:

    Advics makes the brake system for Toyota. I try and use their after market brake line anytime I can. All made in the USA . Akebono is also excellent.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rich King says:

    Awesome Vid! Next time u pull those calipers, send em to me and I will give them some color! Love your vids!

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ogee 63 says:

    Yes please. Any Toyota work would be appreciated.
