Roadside brake pads job on my 01 lx. What sockets do I need?

[Juanblzer]

Brake pads are worn and I want to slap some pads on while on a major road trip. I’m limited on tools. Only a simple socket set and some basic hand tools. I know I need to buy a large c clamp. I’ve done pads before. I just forgot what sockets I need.

All help is appreciated.

Rear pads require 15 mm I do believe and big channel locks or something else to push pistons back in. If I remember correctly there is no need to remove front calipers. But I may be confused with my 80 series calipers that I deal with alot more often.

I've only done fronts. No sockets are needed other than to get wheel off. You will need to hammer out the two pins and use a screw driver with old pads in to compress the calipers. C-clamp didn't work for me and eventually resorted to using a piece of wood to compress calipers to get the new ones in.

The youtube tundra/tacoma videos were the same as my 100 series as far as procedure.

Ryanstl for rescue!
Rear needs 17 and 14mm. The only 15 mm I used in a toyota is to release the tension on 2uzfe drive belt tensioner.
