How to Replace the Front Brake Pads on a Toyota Prius?

Model: Toyota Prius Xw30, MK 2 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Brake pads

To replace the front brake pads on a Toyota Prius, lift the car with a jack or ramp so that the corresponding wheels are off the ground. This allows you to loosen the bolts securing the wheel to the hub, remove it, and access the components at the back. By unscrewing the bolts that secure the caliper to the disc, you can remove the existing pads and replace them with new spare parts. After replacement, refit the caliper and install the wheel.
