Changing the front brake pads of your Toyota Corolla is pretty easy and you can do it in your own garage.
You’ll need a new set of brake pads compatible with your Corolla model, a ratchet with a 13mm socket, a jack and your wheel bolts wrench. So here’s how to do it:
Place the vehicle on a flat surface and pull the parking brake
Loosen the wheel bolts
Jack up the car and secure it with a jack stand
Remove the loosened up wheel bolts and take the wheel out
Use the ratchet and unscrew the two bolts behind the caliper
Slide the caliper out and place it secure so that you won’t put stress on the brake lines
Take the brake pads out and put the new ones in
Push the cylinder back in the caliper to accommodate the new beefy brake pads
Slide the caliper back and secure it with the bolts
Repeat procedure for the other wheel
After the job is done, test the brakes a bit on closed or no traffic road.
