Generation 3 Toyota Prius rear brake pad replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
- Welcome back to Auto Scholar with Mr. B! Today we are replacing the brake pads in the back of this 2010 Toyota Prius. I also show you how to back flush the caliper so we do not cause any contamination of an ABS components. Remember to resurface or replace the rotors and lubricate the caliper slides. This video should work for 2010-2015 Prius models and others, and will work as a guide to do the front brakes as well. Remember, you must remove the terminal for the 12v battery and the service plug for the high voltage battery!

Thank you. Great tip on opening the bleeder. Do not want to compromise the actuator, pump unit.
Finally, you add brake fluid to the reservoir. Nice job.
Great clear details instructions 👍. Video took a little bit longer than mostly people posted. However I really enjoy watching and learning details that mostly people don't shared. Thank you 💓😊
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your repair.
Thanks, man, for ur tutorials. I have learned how to change the brakes pad today from you.
Thank you for your good information. It would also be good if you made a video indicating the disconnection of the high voltage battery.
Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
THANK YOU for all the Gen 3 videos Mr. B!
Thanks for watching!
I like it how you provide instructions like clearing the codes and other minor details. Thank you!
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
I appreciate this video Mr B. It helped me with my Prius brakes. I didn't quite understand what you were doing with that compression tool. By twisting it you were compressing the piston, though I wasn't quite sure how it was working. I have to figure out how to do that on my own. I don't have that large kit. So perhaps in future videos you could demonstrate the cheap little cube tool, it might be a PITA but that's what most of us non-mechanics will buy I'd guess. :-)
auto zone has a lend a tool feature-they charge your credit card but allow you to bring it back when your done. Its a multi tool that works on both the front and back as these are different
Fantastic video! Used it to successfully complete my first Prius break job
Outstanding! Thanks for watching.
@@AutoScholarwithMrB how about a spark plug changing video? That’s my next project
Also, do you have a website?
@@nodeswarm729 working on that now, but I am on Facebook and Instagram under Auto Scholar with Mr. B
@@nodeswarm729 unfortunately this isn’t my car, but if I get another one in the shop, I may be able to do that.
Excellent instructions!
Appreciate the Prius hybrid videos, please do more!
Thanks for watching! I am planning more.
Nice job
Nice video well explained.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, it was really helpful
Awesome, good luck with your repair!
Good job
nice work
Thank you for watching!
Just commenting for the RUclips algorithm
Thank you for that and thanks for watching!
When I compressed the piston on one side, it only took about 5-10 full rotations but on the other side, I literally had to make from 50- 100 rotations but I finally got it. Any ideas why one side took so many rotations?
Hello Mr. B. I have a big doubt about how to intervene in the brake circuit, both for changing brake fluid and changing brake pads. And it's about not damaging the accumulator when the traps are opened. I understand that you have to discount the negative cable of the battery and not open the driver's door, is this true? I have a fourth generation prius plus. Thank you
Hola Sr. B. Tengo una gran duda sobre cómo intervenir en el circuito de frenos, tanto para el cambio de líquido de frenos como para el cambio de pastillas de freno. Y se trata de no dañar el acumulador cuando se abren las trampas. Entiendo que hay que descontar el cable negativo de la batería y no abrir la puerta del conductor, ¿es cierto? Tengo un Prius plus de cuarta generación. Gracias
Must the piston be turning as its being pushed in?
Yes, it had a threaded insert
I bought a 2011 gen 3 from a dealer. Very clean with 200 k. 2 weeks later head gasket goes bad. Do you know of trade schools that work on the general publics cars at reduced rates as the cost of the repair prohibits me from using it. Thank you
It is going to depend on the school. We take in limited work, but something like this is fairly complex for students to handle. Many schools don’t take any work due to liability concerns.
is there a way you can pout your videos in some order like all Prius videos or all ford videos?
how can you approximate the preasure/ pounds needed to secure the bolts e.g. 25 lbs etc without the special tools? Thanks
You need a torque wrench. There is no approximating anything without one.
Bleeding but not adding brake fluid after?
Maybe the brake fluid was toped off before as the brake pads were wearing. So no need to add fluid.
Is it really ok to bleed / backflush the brake line with the new pads in and the fluid running onto the caliper?
No, I buy a foot or two of hose line that fits on the bleeding nipple. The fluid can be drained into a can or jar.
The one on my car very tight mecganices when use air gun it over tights bolts and they onky one who can open it
Good job. It would be great if you had someone video what you are doing when you are facing away and blocking the view while explaining.
Yeah I messed this one up. I now shoot with two cameras. Sometimes I get so involved in the car I forget about the camera and the video all together! Thanks for watching and your input. It is appreciated.
Don’t need to disconnect the battery
Car is clean for its age Must not have been driven much on salt treated roads.
Not at all, we are based out of the southern US. Snows once a year for an hour or two! Thanks for watching!
Rotor is good! Why re-machine it? If it’s good don’t even bother messing with it.
It’s been on the car since new, definitely want to machine for new pads.
@@AutoScholarwithMrB Fair enough. Just have a different philosophy in general and that’s if it ain’t broke don’t mess with it. I guess better to be safe than sorry. :)
@@proverbs2927 machining the rotor is going to help the new pads break in and reduce the risk for noise. These didn’t need too much of a cut and will probably still be in spec for the next time. Thanks for watching!
C'mon men dirty greasy hand and break pads, not good bad bad idea even if you use break clean the grease wont come off be CLEAN, AND I USEALY PUT THE SELICONE BREAK GREASE ON THE PISTON END AND CALIBER OTHER END THAT HOLDS THE OUT SIDE BREAK,WAY TO MUTCH PAST THE WAY YOU DID, STILL GOOD VIDEO✌
