Hi,
This is not only my first Toyota but first Japanese car as well.
Anybody has good (idiot proof) instructions on changing brake pads?


Thanks,

Okay,

How about a detailed instructions for TC?
Maybe be moderators could come up with something and put it on the Technical Data page as a sticky?

There isn't step by step instructions, if you don't knwo what you are doing don't even try, there are larger issues you may have to deal with like air in the brake lines if you bleed a little fluid out, like you should. The general idea is a couple of bolts, clips for the pads and compression of a piston. My suggestion would to have a freind walk you through it the first time, then it will be easy for you after that.
