Replacing the rear brake disc on the Toyota Prius mk2 is quite simple. Start by lifting the car on a ramp and removing the right rear wheel.

Once the wheel is off, undo the support bracket bolt using a 14mm spanner. Next, partially lift the brake caliper and remove the old brake pads.

To remove the brake disc, use two M8 bolts. Tighten them alternately until the disc can be removed.

After removing the worn disc, insert the new one and mount it by reversing the removal procedure. Finish by refitting the wheel.
