trd pads

I have 2009 TRD and i ordered trd brakes pads. Today I tried to install they seem not to fit. are they too big for 2009. And after putting in the old ones one side of the pistion is tight and the other is not nearly as tight. after i put them on i pumped the brakes to close the piston but the brake feel more soft then before am i suppose to bleed them alittle to get out the air.

 

Maybe you order the TRD big break pads on accident? That’s the only variance across the board I can think of...

 

i checked they are a little thick in pad part because they are new but other then that same size. but the main concern is not having the brakes from before would pumping the brakes cause air to get in

 

They’re prolly not set properly, use the search function to figure out how to do that. Swapping out the breaks shouldn’t introduce air into the system

 

ok i think i figured it out i need to pump the brakes 10 times or so to pressurize them. to get the old feel of them back. thank you Jrharvey02

 

Correct. They need to be pumped several times to close the lines and re-pressurize the line. You should not have to do it again after that unless there is a problem.

 

And while you're in brakes mode it always a good idea to get a goooooood look at the brake fluid level in the master cylinder.

 

Thank you for advice. i was able to put on new front rotors and trd pads today. and seated them drive up to 50 or 60 and then applied brakes. it went good, but i have not put new rotors or pads on the back yet. So the question is the truck is at 100,000 plus and never had a brake fluid flush either. they feel spongy with the new pads the pads work up front but the pedal isnt firn enough how it should be. do i need to bleed them in order for the brakes to be firm and do i need wait to do that when i get new rear rotors and pads,or can i do it now and put the rotors and rear pads in later?
