Doing brake job for my friend tomorrow, just curious as to what tools I will need. I am familiar with doing brakes, but his house is far and I only want to take what is necessary for tools. I don't want to load up the car with tools I don't need.
For example, would I need allen wrenches or Torx sockets? Or will normal metric tools do the trick?

Car is a 95 Toyota Camry 4 cyl, drum rear
TIA!

repair manual - do not assume that replacing the brakes is the same on all cars
metric combination wrenches
metric 3/8" drive socket set
brake spring tools
brake shoe adjusting tool
standard screwdriver
hammer - for tapping stubborn drums
c-clamps
length of tubing and a catch container for bleeding the brakes

Sorry, I communcated poorly. I need info for the front disc brakes.:grinno:

Basically a set of metric socket and wrench, you need 14 (12?)mm socket and a 14 (or12)mm wrench (or an adjustable wrench) to release the sliding pin nut and may need 17mm to release the caliper if change the rotor. Bleeding need a 8 (6?) mm wrench. No need Allen key. Very easy, enjoy it.

I made the list above assuming you would have to do the front and rear brakes. You are going to want to make sure the rear brakes are properly adjusted before bleeding.

Good info! Just what I was looking for!

Thanks!!!!

The wheel lug nuts are 21MM. To remove the calipers, if you are just going to change the pads, you will need a 12MM wrench or socket. To remove the torque plate (caliper mounting bracket), if you are removing the rotors for replacement or turning, you will need a 14MM. Bleeder screw should be 8MM as was mentioned above.

You will also need something like a large c-clamp and the old pad to bottom out the piston in the caliper.

Thanks Mike!
