Locate the battery on the driver’s side just behind the headlight. Use a step stool to get in a good position to easily replace the cables if it’s too high to reach on the Toyota Tundra. Loosen the bolt on the black negative battery cable first with a box wrench or cable clamp pliers. Wriggle the cable end off the post. Repeat the process on the red positive cable. Always disconnect both battery cables, even if you’re only replacing one of them, to prevent a short in the electrical system.

Follow the negative cable to where it’s grounded on the front of the frame beside the headlight assembly. Remove the end of the cable with the wrench. Track the positive cable to its connection on the starter solenoid on the driver’s side of the engine and remove it with the wrench. Clean the posts with a small wire brush or cable cleaner. Wipe off residual dust or cleaner with a clean, dry cloth.

Attach the new positive cable first, reversing the process in Step 3. Reattach the negative cable last and start the truck to ensure the connections are working on your Toyota Tundra. After attaching the new battery cables, you’ll need to reset your clock and reprogram your radio presets, if your truck has these options. Always make sure the cables are tight at the battery, engine block and starter.

You’ll need:

Box wrench or cable pliers
Wire brush or cable cleaner
Clean cloth

Toyota Tundra Manual – How to Replace the Rotor

This Toyota Manual  Will Guide You of How to Replace the Rotor in a Toyota Tundra

The Toyota Tundra utilizes brake discs, also known as rotors, in combination with a caliper and brake pad assembly to bring your vehicle to a stop. If the rotors get warped or worn down, it can cause your Tundra to shudder and pulse when you hit the brakes. It’s fairly easy to swap the rotors yourself and keep some extra money in your pocket.

Jack up your Toyota Tundra. Block the wheels that you aren’t working on to keep your Tundra from rolling while you work. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the first tire and wheel assembly.

Remove the brake hose from the caliper and then quickly plug the end of the hose to prevent spillage. Next, remove the two caliper mounting bolts. This allows you to then pull the caliper assembly off of the old rotor.

Clean the area around the hub with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or corrosion. Install the new rotor onto the hub.

Lubricate the caliper slides and bolts with lithium grease and then install the caliper and tighten the bolts. Torque the caliper bolts to 90 ft. lbs. (123 Nm).

Reconnect the brake hose to the caliper and torque to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm). Refill the brake fluid and then bleed the brakes. Install the wheel assembly and tire.

Repeat this process for each additional rotor. When you’re finished, lower your vehicle, double check the brake fluid level and reconnect the negative battery cable.

Pump the brakes until you get a firm pedal and then be sure to road test your Toyota Tundra to make sure that the installation was successful.
