    Please don’t shame me too much but I bought some OEM red caliper covers. New truck after market buy shit syndrome! Oh well. So I got these things with brackets. No YouTube bids on how to install. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ok. I’ll post some pics of the parts but I was hoping someone had installed them and had some advice.

    Well uh sure you even bought the right ones?

    Its a cover so all I can imagine is take off wheels and put on. If its like most you put it on, install clips and tighten nut.

    Pretty self explanatory if you have the wheel off.

    Yep. Take wheels off. The red covers are on the outside but there are a bunch if metal brackets that hold them on. Maybe a Toyota breakdown diagram? Will search.

    Metal brackets should clip on each end to rotor.

    I'm not sure why you need a Toyota diagram the only thing you should be taking off is the wheel.

    I'm assuming you bought ones like this.

    If you can just say who made it will take 1 min to figure this out.

    Well once you look at all the parts, it’s self explanatory. Shameless Bling.
