Toyota Prius Front Brake Pads Replacement ! Toyota Prius 2004 - 2009 Front Brake Pads
► Our Website for Tools, Parts and more Videos: mechaniclifesty...
We took this video to show you how to remove and replace the front brake pads on a Toyota Prius Second Generation xw20. It will be the same procedure from 2004-2009. All you will need is a big flat head screwdriver that you will be using the push the piston in the caliper ( or you can buy a tool for that purpose, but not necessary) a 14 mm wrench or socket and tire tool. SOME BOOKS Suggest to unhook the battery before replacing the pads.
When you put the new brake pad BEFORE driving the car press the brake pedal 4-5 times to make sure that the new brake pads contact the disc.
It will be the same procedure for:
2004 Toyota Prius
2005 Toyota Prius
2006 Toyota Prius
2007 Toyota Prius
2008 Toyota Prius
2009 Toyota Prius

Thanks for the video, 4 things that should be mentioned here to others though, this is improtant: 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before doing anything, priuss have automated brake actuators that will close the caliper pistons if fob key is close to the car or a button is pushed. This is a nightmare, disconnect your battery cable. 2.Calipers should be held up by a small bungee chord or large nylon zip tie, you dont want to damage the brake lines and pinch them off. 3. Brake pad carrier plates should be greased on the outside edge where the caliper piston makes contact with the plate, not good to install dry carriers against the pistons. 4. ALWAYS torque the caliper bolts and lug nuts to your cars Torque specification, a hand tighten may work for an experienced mechanic but you can easily under-tighten: caliper could seize up on rotor and hub, this is accident material - or over-tighten and brake the bolt right off in the caliper mount, that would just suck. Thanks again for the video, cheers

+Keenan Walker great information Keenan. Thank you for sharing with everyone. We are glad that the video was helpful. If you ever need help with your vehicle let us know you can also find us on Our Official Facebook Page here: facebook.com/worldmechanicsofficialpage/?fref=ts

[@danbee6103]

+Keenan Walker #5. The jack lifting point is in the center front area, it is easy to spot. Two main frame welds may be found just a bit further out, but not the side of the body, for the jacks.

[@nicholasstoica7515]

K W333 good points, also add to the list to check and lubricate the pistons...might as well, you're down there and everything

[@jacobstephenson4234]

Excellent points...also you should be using a torque wrench to properly tighten (and not over tightening) the caliper bolts not just tightening them down as hard as you can (a little blue locktite is always wise too). Also using some copper anti seize on the edges of the pads where they sit in the caliper to stop them chaffing.

[@vel1hunnid707]

K W333 whats the correct brake fluid for 04-07?? &whats the torque on the caliper bolts

[@repnatl]

FYI for others NEVER set the pads face down on anything besides a flat surface or towel never place them face down on concrete like this.

[@olhesty2196]

Thank you for taking the time to post your video, very informative. The Stealership wants somewhere in the $300 range to just change my front pads, WTH???? With the Hybrid system and the weird front wheel charging system I was worried that I might mess some shit up, as opposed to other pad changes in the past. Your video clearly explained all that I needed to know. K W333, points out some good stuff here. I ain't lookin' for no nightmares; that's for damn sure. TY K W333 for your info.

[@ae86miami]

You shouldn't leave the caliper hanging like that, you can damage the brake line.

[@ozzieksk]

So true

[@LongviewBibleBaptistChurch]

True, and guys being very careful by having a wire hanger from which to suspend the caliper, like using a coat hanger cut to size and bent into S hook, can save stress on the hydraulic hose and fittings. Older brake hoses will last longer doing this. Any better ideas? Would love to learn from a mechanic not under a shade tree.

[@jstar5285]

Very straightforward steps, loved the video. I'm anxious to get my pads too get started, just have to decide Toyota or generic pads now.

[@WorldMechanics]

+Grace Star go with Toyota pads. Glad that the video was helpful and we hope that you find other videos on our channel helpful as well

[@zackfreeman5549]

I just did this and it's really not too hard (I have ZERO car experience). The only thing that was a little tricky was compressing the caliber, you have to really crank on it or the new pads won't fit. Also, I did not disconnect the battery, but I made sure my key FOB was very far away from the car while I was working on it.

[@WorldMechanics]

+Zack Freeman Some of the new brake pads are really thick and as you said you really have to crank on it. We are glad to hear that the video was helpful and you saved yourself some money :) Thank you for watching us!

[@iamaioshi]

Excellent video!!! Thanks

[@God_is_Justice]

just imagine listening to this every day

[@WorldMechanics]

+Jesus was a Carpenter. Thank you for the compliment ;)

[@God_is_Justice]

World Mechanics :-) You're welcome, sorry...

[@andyengland7795]

Good video, clearly explained. Shame I didn't read the comments beforehand else I'd have introduced the other precautions mentioned. Still, no problems on mine as far as I can tell. Thanks.

[@hotmail1929]

DONT LEAVE THE CALIPER HANGING it’s a terrible mistake. Spray some brakes cleaner before working on brakes apply some brakes Lub on pads. Important steps thanks

[@jeffvezina3989]

I was like where the brake lub lol

[@erxfav3197]

Why do you need brake lube?

[@user70331]

​@@erxfav3197 pads and caliper moving when brakes in use, lube makes sure nothing stucks

[@freddyb.5137]

hi, i saw two models of brake pads for prius 2. One for 2004/5 and another for 2005/09! ive got a 2007 prius, possible to put a 2004 brake pads models to prius 2007??

[@michaelmika2995]

Thank you for your excellent video. Very helpful for an old man.

[@LateNightViddys]

Great! Thank you! Is changing the Lexus CT200h brakes similar?

[@danielkhaleck9412]

Thank you you guys are awesome

[@madcowusa4277]

Sent the wife to Les Schwab in WA and they wanted $1,000 to do front and rear brakes. Local mechanic wants $560 with $70 additional to change brake fluid. Factory original brake pads lasted 222,000 miles which is remarkable. Prices not including tax @10% more.

[@erxfav3197]

Do you have to replace your rotors as well?

[@luminedan]

Before starting, do you need to disconnect the battery? From other clips on youtube, I noticed that if you don't disconnect the battery, the brakes will engage...

[@WorldMechanics]

Daniel Axente We did not disconnect the battery. It would not hurt to do it. We have replaced brakes on a few prius at the shop and we never had a problem.

[@HawaiiFoodAndFun]

@@WorldMechanics If you have the toyota scanning software that can disable the brake actuator then you dont need to. The average person does not have that so disconnecting the battery is ALWAYS RECOMMENDED

[@HawaiiFoodAndFun]

YES. ALWAYS DISCONNECT. (Shops with the toyota software that can disable the brake actuator dont need to do this)

[@dillonh2118]

Thanks for the video man it helped me out today

[@coshgunsahmemmedov8714]

Thank you for report

[@michaeljoe8]

Should you open the brake fluid reservoir while changing the brake pads?

[@jcrodhry5217]

Do you know how to remove the Red Triangle from the dashboard, at this moment all the lights are on and the car doesn't drive, until I disconnect the battery and reconnecting back on? there is not any weird noise or leak, and the hybrid battery still working properly. any advice?

[@luminedan]

Thank YOU FOR your reply! Any chance you can do a front brake disc replacement? Either way, thank you for all the Prius videos. Cheers!

[@Really658]

Excellent! ( from ASE mechanic)

[@acerockollaa]

Thanks for the video.

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

Thank you gents.

[@leepagnini6273]

I am interrupting @3:59: You have a great video, but, don't use 3 hands, this makes the video very confusing for the viewer. I kinow this is a small thing, but it IS confusing, which is not what you should want. Great video.

[@jamescc2010]

Quick and easy install but missed some details like applying caliper/pin/hardware grease, left caliper hanging, and cleaning/replacing with new hardware. Nice video though.

[@lrodriguez9315]

u must I repeat must have a gold watch in order to be able to replace pads.

[@ChatBotIQ]

L Rodriguez it doesn’t hurt to have cute rags and bracelets as well

[@brettduffy1992]

My calipers need replaced the dealer wants too much money Firestone is half the cost but they said at the dealer that if I do any brake work anywhere but them I'll have no more regenerative brakes that sounds like a really big lie I'm not too sure though I did my brake pads at Firestone and they gave me the same story and my brake pads are fine so maybe it's the same thing

[@dirtyred1687]

can you tell me how to get to diagnostic mode on a 2012 prius

[@christinereno9788]

My boyfriend changed my front brake pads on my 2007 Toyota Prius and now the steering wheel is really hard to turn like it doesn’t have power steering and the red triangle light is on. What was done wrong that made that happen?

[@smit_ty6771]

red triangle is a catch all warning, take it to an auto shop and have it read

[@butecuncun10]

how lon do you has to chage the pad or how i now the i need new brecks

[@rodzodrizzle1386]

PITUFO DIEZ its eee one jobbb and es aa cinko dinero

[@brianchapman1496]

I’ve never see that shim transferred to another pad. I’ve seen a lot of pads changed, but never transferring the shims.

[@user70331]

I changed brake pads on my prius and there were no shiny metal plates on old pads or new ones (those that go to the back plate of the brakes). Super confused 🤔, can't find info

[@WilliamMarshall-ws1ou]

Most after market pads don't use multiple parts anymore. They're basically "built in". Except dealer parts. Alot of the time when I order pads from toyota it comes with the couple shims to put together with some grease to.

[@PaulTomlinson]

2009 Toyota Prius. Squeaking noise coming from the front wheels which stops once brakes are applied. Most likely the pads or a stuck caliper rod?

[@joehyundaitech7961]

dont let the brake caliper hang by the hose

[@ranat5526]

@2.38 Allowing the brake caliper to hang freely is not a good idea!

[@woody3307]

Pay careful attention to the way the hardware is fitted on the old brake pads. I thought I did but when I got to second wheel I found I had it wrong and had to go back and redo the other one. BTW, exactly what part of the hardware are we supposed to grease?? Thanks. LOL, I won't be back for the answer. I changed my pads at 140,000 miles. They could have gone another 60,000 probably, and further I didn't know they actually had a warning light of their own which from other comments I gather is the purpose of the little metal feeler on one of the pads?? Or does it just make noise? BTW, I bought Bosch pads on Amazon. WHY? I always use original Toyota parts, and in this case the I had to hammer and bend the hardware clip since the little notch in the pad to accomodate it was not made on the Bosch parts even though the rest of the pad matched ok. Another $1 or two would have saved a mashed finger and aggravation.

[@ejazkhan7492]

im apakistan my name is ejaz

[@fwdslip5964]

There was nothing wrong with those brakes, they didn't need to be changed!

[@nordicpride9708]

Like others have said.....BRAKLEEN is your friend, brake grease... and for the love of god man, tie up that caliper!

[@edgarbarajas3323]

Bro!!! you have 3 arms??? 😳😳

[@WillsBullies]

Quit sticking your hand in the way let the other guy do it ! Lol )))))))

[@ritchie9030]

It's hard to believe I paid to have brake pads put on

[@arnoldtarbooz1420]

The fking guy not only has gold chains and bracelet on, but also has three hands !! 3:14 - DO YOU KNOW how many times I wish I had three hands when I work on cars? HOW Did you get three hands?

Don't these things stop on maxi pads
