Power Stop Brake Kit For 2008 209 2010 2011 2012 2013 Toyota Highlander Front and Rear Autospecialty OE Replacement Rotors and Z16 Ceramic Brake Pads KOE4129

Good brake set. For a reasonable cost

This was my first time ever trying to do brake pads or rotors on any vehicle. previously I’ve been too nervous about messing with my brakes myself however after taking apart my old brakes I could clearly see that it doesn’t pay to hire anyone else to do it for you. I previously had Firestone replace the brakes and they managed to remove the rubber water/dust cover grommet from the rear rotors and never replace them so bad area where the emergency brake is housed was nice and full of dust and rust. Firestone also installed the brake pad retaining clips upside down on half of each front rotor. after seeing how easy this was especially if you properly prep the area and add some suggested anti-seize to different areas like the back of each brake pad and to the metal surface where the rotor mounts to… this will be very easy next time. there were no torque specifications available however I found a very good YouTube video on the 2010 Toyota Highlander limited that told me the 14 mm bolts or 25 foot pounds and the larger (can’t remember if they were 19 mm or 21 mm) are 75 ft lb. The lug nuts themselves on the tires are 77 ft lb. I also watched a few more good YouTube videos and found that bleeding the brake system is also very easy if you feel it’s time to do that. My vehicle is approaching 200,000 mi and has never had the brakes bled. while that is not necessarily a problem, it’s something that I wanted to do cuz I’ve never done it before. always make sure to use brand new brake fluid if you do it. Open used bottles collect moisture which is very bad for brake fluid. you can use Dot 3 or Dot 4 in your system if it’s for this particular vehicle. My stock Highlander had the original DOT3 brake fluid which I mostly bled out but I did reapply.4 on top of that to push it out. I bled approximately 8 oz of fluid out of each tires caliper and after draining 8 oz I would top off the reservoir with another 8 oz or so to replace it up to the full line. Rinse and repeat on all four tires until you’re done and then fill the brake fluid between the low end full lines when you’re done. the bleed screw down on each caliper was very easy to loosen on my Highlander and it has been backed into saltwater plenty of times between the Gulf of Mexico launching WaveRunners and being in Hawaii for 2 years launching waverunners. The torque specification on that tiny little 8 mm or 10 mm bleed screw is quite low at something like 7 ft lb so be very careful not to over torque it. look up YouTube video searches on how to replace the brake pads and rotors on the 2010 Toyota Highlander limited and there are plenty of examples. I watched every one of those videos multiple times before I tackle the project and found it to be rather easy. it was time-consuming making sure that the surface that the rotor would be mounting to was nice and clean and free of rust.

It is just as good as the ones I used to get from Auto Zone, if not better. Time will tell more. Price wise, I saved good money.
