How to do a RAV4 brake job right

Consult the service manual for the exact axle and variant before starting. Identify the mounting bolts, bracket bolts and slide/guide pins separately. Bolt reuse, lubrication, threadlocker and torque-to-yield requirements are application-specific, not universal rules for a display group. Support the caliper safely without loading the hose, and use the specified tightening sequence with a calibrated torque wrench rather than an impact tool.

Tools you need for a RAV4 brake job

Recorded socket sizes for 1996 Toyota RAV4: 12mm, 10mm, 17mm, 14mm. Other tools may include a caliper slide-pin tool or hex/Torx bit set, a torque wrench that covers the specified torque values, plus thread-locker or brake lubricant only where the manual calls for it. A caliper piston compressor makes seating the new pads far easier. See the recommended tools and replacement hardware linked below.
