![]() ![]() ( source)īrake Bleeding: (See Post #2 in this thread)īrake Bleeding section of 4Runner repair manual. Some aftermarket 16" might work but stock Toyota 16" wheels will not. I highly recommend painting them, properly, if you do not buy them already painted.Ĥth Gen (Sport and Limited models) Have the same pads as the 5th Gen 4Runners ( source1)( source2)ġ7" wheel minimum. Most calipers do not come 'finished' and will rust quickly. Loaded - Caliper, caliper mounting bracket, hardware (shims, sometimes bolts, rubber thingies, metal retainer thing), pads.Semi-Loaded - Caliper, caliper mounting bracket, hardware, no pads.When buying calipers, you'll usually have these options ( source): If you are debating whether or not to change the rears in addition to the fronts: Slowgoat here verman84 here M1911 here TOYOTAĔRUNNERĒ010- 2015 (THEY CHANGED THE FRONT CALIPERS OF THE 5TH GENS STARTING IN 2016 which will not work).Here are the other vehicles with the calipers we're after. That is the section of the rotor the emergency/parking brake uses like a drum brake (brake shoes press against the inside of the rotor) The argument of why it might better to use 4th gen rotors: pjbrownvaĪCDELCO 18A2735 (5th Gens) Center Hole Diameterđ07.95 MMĪCDELCO 18A1227 (4th Gens) Center Hole Diameterđ06.17 MM Proofs:ĥth: BlackWorksInc and measurements, Runn4est, JeffMerr, verman84 Minimum Rotor Thickness: 16.002mm (0.63")īoth 4th and 5th Gen rear rotors seem to work. It is even less recommended to use the SR5 rotors with the 5th Gen calipers because of the smaller rotor diameter in addition to them being thinner. It is highly recommended to upgrade the rotors too The pistons in the calipers will over extend when the pads get warn down if you use the 4th Gen front rotors with the 5th Gen calipers. It is possible to use the larger (Sport) 4th Gen rotors with 5th Gen calipers. The 5th Gen front rotors are the same diameter as the 4th Gen Sport (338mm or 13.307") (SR5 has 319.024mm or 12.56") (this extra thickness helps with heat dissipation and warping) The 5th Gen front rotors are 4mm thicker than the 4th Gen rotors. The 5th Gen front and rear caliper pistons are (2.5mm-3mm) larger than the 4th gens (not sure if this is compared to 13WH, 13WG or both) (my front left caliper seized which prompted this thread) The 5th Gen calipers have shown less issues with seizing than the 4th gen calipers have. SR5 owners have the option of "upgrading" their brakes to the Sport brakes but these still have the seizing issues. (Just like the 3rd gen 4Runner -> Tundra caliper upgrade) ![]() Yes, this upgrade DOES work on SR5 but the dust shield/covers need to be modified/cut or upgraded. The rear calipers/rotors are the same for all 4th Gens. The mounts are identical and line up perfectly.Ĥth Gen Sport models (Sport Brakes Package optional on the Limited) have larger front calipers (13WH) and rotors than the SR5 models (13WG) so no modifications are necessary. This is a very easy upgrade caliper swap. I am only trying to compile all necessary information to make the upgrade easier for everyone. I have looked across the internet and found a lot of information spread throughout but nothing that was easy to follow.
