Secure the car on axle stands, loosen the bolts, and remove the front wheel. Work on the brake caliper, release the springs or clips, unscrew the caliper bolts, and slide the caliper off the caliper bracket.

If necessary, also remove the caliper bracket to access the disc. Remove the disc retaining screw, extract the worn disc, and clean the hub thoroughly to ensure the new part sits correctly.

Position the new disc, refit the caliper bracket and caliper. Before fitting the new pads, retract the caliper piston evenly, then insert the pads respecting the orientation and reassemble the springs/clips.

Refit the caliper, close everything in reverse order, and put the wheel back on. After completing the work, pump the brake pedal several times to restore the travel and check the brake fluid level; perform a short low-speed test to verify correct braking.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
