DIY: Front Brakes (Rotors, Calipers, Pads, and Lines) with pics

Replaced the front brakes (calipers, pads, lines, rotors) on my 4th Gen 2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V8. I'm not an expert - just applying what I learned from the forums

[MENTION=113703]46runner[/MENTION] Nice write up OP , best one I've seen being that I've watched or read them all about 10mths ago from replacing exactly everything you did + completely rebuilt two of my calipers with all new oem parts just to see if its difficult and worth the moneys savings...and it is. lol
Good job I even saved this write up.

Thanks. I had my hands full making the double flares (trial and error). rebuilding the pistons would have added many more hrs to my project!

Very nice. Ran into a problem though.... got the new caliper (reman because I’m not paying Toyota $400 each) and the new caliper mounting holes are to small. About 2mm too small. Tried two different locations, autozone and oReilly’s. Both not fitting. Any idea what the deal is....
