How to Change the Brake Pads on a Toyota Auris

Model: Toyota Auris E180 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Brake pads

On the Toyota Auris, the job begins with the car raised and secured. After loosening and removing the front wheel, the brake caliper becomes accessible. The procedure shows the intervention on the caliper bolts: they are undone to open the caliper and move it away from the disc, without forcing the brake line. With the caliper open, the old pads are removed from their housing on the Toyota Auris. Before fitting the new parts, the piston is retracted using the appropriate tool to create the necessary space for the thickness of the new pads. This phase is clearly shown and done calmly, avoiding abrupt movements. At this point, the new pads are correctly positioned in the bracket on the Toyota Auris, respecting the orientation and seating. The caliper is then closed and the bolts refitted, completing the front brake assembly. Before refitting the wheel, a general visual check is shown in the video to ensure everything is aligned and properly tightened. With the mechanical part closed, the wheel is refitted on the Toyota Auris and the car is lowered. The job concludes with a final check of the correct positioning of the pads and the implicit advice to pump the brake pedal before setting off.
