Calling all COROLLA owners, step inside

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Doing the brakes on my Aunt's 2005 Corolla tomorrow, wondering if I'm going to come across any bumps in the process.

Pads/Rotors for my Accord/Buick are cake, super easy to do. Just wondering if Toyota is different.

Will I need Metric or Standard size wrenches/sockets? I plan on bringing all my tools, just in case.

Before I drive 45 min to do them, just want to get a heads up if there are any tips/tricks for her car in particular.

Thanks guys. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Just make sure you are getting the correct products for the vehicle. But no there is nothin I can think of that is going to get into your way.

The front disc brakes are very easy. Nothing out of the ordinary, i have done them a few times on my parents Corolla. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Its all Metric as most cars are. I am not sure if it was my Nissan or the Corolla, but the brakes have clips that keep the pads pressed against the

hydraulic ram / caliper.

Dont forget to check the brake calipers. For push back, return, and rebound. Brake hoses too.
