Removal (Camry & Celica)
- Raise and support vehicle. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Temporarily install wheel lug nuts to retain rotor position. On Camry, remove brake hose bracket. On all models, remove brake caliper from torque plate and wire aside; leave brakeline connected.
- Remove anti-squeal shims and pads. See Figure. Remove pad support plates and pad wear indicators. Check rotor thickness and runout. Measure brake pads and replace if necessary. See appropriate DISC & DRUM BRAKE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article.
NOTE:
Some models have one or more sets of anti-squeal shims. If one set of shims is vented, place it between pad and outer anti-squeal shim.
