🔧 Supra - Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Replacing the rear pads and rotors on your Supra involves lifting the rear safely, retracting the electronic parking brake (EPB) so the calipers can come off, swapping the rotors, then installing new pads and bedding them in.

Because EPB setup and bolt/torque specs can vary by rear brake package, I need one quick confirmation so I don’t give you the wrong procedure or torque values.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate | Estimated Time: 2-4 hours

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• 🛑 Support the car on jack stands; never rely on a jack.
• 🛑 Do not press the brake pedal with a caliper removed.
• 🛑 Let brakes cool fully; rotors can burn you.
• 🛑 EPB must be placed in service mode before pushing pistons back, or you can damage the EPB mechanism.
