DIY - Front Brake and Rotors 2000 Toyota Camry

This is a DIY for front brakes and rotors for a 2000 Toyota Camry

 

 

First you remove the top and bottom bolt that holds the brake caliper to the bracket - Once you have taken the caliper off then you remove the front pads - If needed help use a flat head screw driver - Once you have the pads off remove the two bolts holding the caliper bracket to the spindle - From there you can remove the rotor

 

Make sure you inspect the new rotors to the old ones - In this year Camry there is a difference between a 14 inch rim and a 15 inch rim - Rotors do come in two different sizes - If you are using slotted rotors make sure they are facing the correct direction

 



 

Then with a brake caliper tool push the caliper back

 

 

 

Once you are done then you can replace everything back the same way you took it off

DIY Removing & Replacing Rear Struts 2000 Toyota Camry

This is a DIY for rear struts on a 2000 Toyota Camry

First you have to remove the bottom portion of the rear seat and then remove the side corners ONLY if you have fold down seats . If you DO NOT have fold down seats you have to remove the entire back seat . This is how you get to the rear strut mounts .

 



 

Remove the bolt for the brake line and the rear ABS wire .

 

 

Then from there you loosen the strut bottom bolts only removing the nuts

 

 

 

Then remove the rear sway bar links

 

 

Once you remove everything above in the photos either place the tire or a block and this is to prevent the rear drum to drop and ripping apart the ABS wire cause the drum will go to almost near the floor . One you secure that then you can remove the bolts that hold the bottom strut

 

 Then from there you can remove the top nuts for the strut mount and then the strut will drop on the support rear area .

 

 

 

What I found out about this DIY is that the rear springs aren't as difficult to remove with out a spring compressor tool . But if you don't feel safe use one . In my situation I didn't need one and when I put the spring on the new strut I hand pushed it down to put the top nut on .

 

Remember if using the old strut mounts that the painted point faces towards the direction as the bolts would go in on the bottom of the strut

 

In the last photo you will see a big fat spacer that needs to go on before the nut goes on the top of the strut .

 

 

 

 Once you have the spring secured on your new rear strut then you can reverse the way you took it off and start putting your struts back .

 

In my case I replaced the sway bar links .
