Anytime you change out the brake pads, you should also perform maintenance on your Toyota truck’s brake rotors. Brake maintenance is important for optimal functionality, and if you are going to be using the truck to haul significant loads, properly functioning brakes become doubly important. Toyota truck brake rotors are a thick design, allowing them to absorb a lot of heat and still remain strong.

When the brake pads are replaced, though, you must have a fresh surface on the rotors to ensure the maximum contact between brake pad and brake disk. If the rotors have a lot of life left in them, you can bring them to a machine shop and have them resurfaced, which basically means that the braking surfaces are ground down to a nice smooth finish.

After you reinstall your Toyota truck brake rotors and pads, they will need a break in period, during which time your braking distances will be significantly increased. You can also follow a bedding in procedure. To bed in your brake rotors and pads in a short time, find an empty stretch of road and perform a series of hard stops from 40 MPH down to a full stop. After a series of 5 of these stops, allow your brakes to cool, then perform two more cycles of stops with a cool down period in between. Your brakes will smell, but they will be broken in.
