I changed my pads a few years ago and I just started hearing the wear sensor squeel. I only drive about 5000mi a year so I took the tire off to see what was up. Only one pad is worn down and the rest are still new. My question is, do I just need to bleed the brakes or is there more that I'm not seeing here? If I just need to bleed, do I bleed the three that aren't stopping or the one that is?
Thanks, Don |

Wow. DeJaVu. I was replacing my pads the day before yesterday and had a bolt snap off in the caliper bracket. Wasted a couple hours trying to fix it before I looked it up and found it was only a $40 part. Needless to say I had mine ordered and is ready to be picked up at the local toyota dealer...

I wasn't going to put that on there because I've seen caliper bolts come off before. Granted you should be checking them every time you rotate your tires so they shouldn't migrate that far without being cought but yeah. I didn't put any on...I'll just back them out every now and then and clean them up every once in a while. |
