    I've started to hear the squeak indicator on the rear passenger side plus their visually worn, I've already replaced the front rotors & pads last December...relatively easy job, it was harder removing & reinstalling the the giant 20" wheels. At that time the rear pads had plenty of meat so I let them be.
    Anyone here already change all four pads & rotors on the Tundra, is changing rears the same as the front eazy peazy or are they more involved ? Truck is a
    2011 SR5 CREWMAX disks front & rear if it matters.
    I have seen some YouTube vids but my issue with that is 90% of the how to's make everything look eazy LOL..
    ANYHOW your input or advise is welcome.

    Same as the front. Two bolts removes the caliper, smack rotor off, slide pads out. Keep the parking brake off and the rotor should come off without too much fight.

    Always needed that 8mm bolt for the rear rotors. Front ones come out fairly easy.
