This is a 2012 Toyota Prius front brake pads and rotors replacement. My vehicle has 134k miles and the brake pads are still in good condition. The Prius brakes are known to last for a very long time since they use regenerative braking.
We're just demonstrating in this tutorial so that you have the knowledge to do it yourself in case you need to replace your front brakes.
Tools:
amzn.to/2awcRDO 3/8 ratchet
amzn.to/2aCThW4 3/8 12mm socket
amzn.to/2awcY1Z 3/8 14mm socket
amzn.to/2brjlou 17mm bike wrench or shaved down wrench
amzn.to/2aR8k22 24" 1/2 breaker bar
amzn.to/2aEZ5Vb 1/2 17mm deep socket
amzn.to/2bpDuLM 8.25 hext bolt for rotors or drums
Parts:
amzn.to/2aCVoJz Brake 3M silicone paste (for sliding pins)
amzn.to/2aE11KN Brake 3M anti seize (for brake hardwares)
Torque specs:
amzn.to/2aDZqER 3/8 Torque wrench
30 ft. lbs - Sliding pin bolts
79 ft. lbs - Caliper mounting bracket bolts
10 ft. lbs - Brake line

hi what break rotor and break pad do you suggest for a 2011 toyota prius? which one did you use?

@waltp3373 4 года назад

Nice video. I thought I would mention why you disconnected the battery. If you don't, your keyfob can activate and electrically pressurize the brake lines and push the piston right out of the caliper when you remove it. This will save you a huge headache.

@MrCucamonga1 5 лет назад

Agreed. I just got quoted $760 to change the battery and the brakes. Watching this video, I'll get it done myself for about $300. That means the dealership (who gets the parts much cheaper than me) would probably be charging me about $500 in labor. Considering the tools they have at their use, and considering they do these jobs all day, they'd probably have everything done in about 15 minutes. $500 in labor for 15 minutes = $2000 an hour. Absolute crooks.

@rcampbellnc 7 лет назад

Viewed elsewhere: Do not have your key fob near your car when doing this as it will activate the braking actuator which pressurize your braking lines causing the caliper piston to go out all the way (if you have it removed). This happened to a another DIY brake changer. Perhaps removing the 12V shuts that down, but just to be safe, I'll keep my fob in the house when I do my brakes.

Do not use a c clamp. You need a special tool to twist and retract the pistons in. Pushing them in can break the piston.

@williamb3323 Год назад

can't imagine working on a car with no rust on it. In Western NY after a salt laden winter you need a fire wrench to cut the bolt off. How nice it must be! Any vehicle over 4 years old here in the butt hole of the world and you aren't moving those bolts.

If you compress the caliper pistons make sure you open the brake fluid bleeder valve! Otherwise you may damage your ABS system by pushing fluid into it, causing a leak or other damage.

Last time I disconnected my cars battery, I did not know that it will automatically FAIL my smog check since it reset the cars computer. Lesson learned not to do that if you need smog check soon.

@THE-APEX 4 года назад

Not batteries, just battery. The one in the boot/trunk. If you don’t, your calipers will extend all the way out. Also, don’t close your trunk with battery disconnected or you have to climb thru front to get back there.

I disconnected my hybrid High voltage battery instead of the 12v battery, and when I went to reconnect it, I did not push the orange clip all the way in. To @NutsAboutBolts I apologize if I came at you heated, I was frustrated and was just looking for anywhere to outlet. It was unwarranted as you are just putting a helpful video out. I always maintain that any informative/DIY videos should be made for the lowest common denominator, and I have made it clear that in this situation this is me. leaving my original comment for an example of what not to do. this tutorial that skipped exactly how you are supposed to disconnect the battery has fucked my car's hybrid system, user beware

You likely will never do rear pads on a Prius. The generator slows you down until under 13-15 MPH then the pads engage. 80% of the stopping power is in the front and 20% to the rear brakes. You would need some serious milage at stop and go speeds to do rears!
