2010-2015 Toyota Prius Rear brake pads and rotors remove and install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- This is a 2012 Toyota Prius rear brake pads and rotors remove and install. When putting the rear pads back, make sure to align the brake pad dimple with the piston or else it'll cause uneven brake wear and will cause brake issues, so don't forget!
The Prius brakes last for along time, this is just a demonstration on how to do it yourself when the time comes. Enjoy!
Also note: Make sure to pump your brake pedal to engage the caliper piston before turning on your vehicle.

Important note, after you disconnect the battery, DONT close the rear lift hatch (it's electrically opened), or you'll have to do like me and crawl back through from the rear seat area. I even put all the panels and stuff back in place before I shut it, which made things even more goofy, LOL. Great video. My rear brakes were more worn than my front pads, I guess maybe because they are smaller.
Curtis Davis haha that happened to me too 😂
Me too!
YESSS! THIS!
I wish i had read this before. Screwed up here as well. Any way of releasing the latch of the door at the rear at this point ???
@@donotmiss5503 There is a latch under the big plastic tray on the trunk but you still need to crowl back and lift the tray. Location is under the latch.
Hello everyone and thanks for the very useful video..I add that after replacing the pads you must check the brake fluid reservoir. You have to do this because when you replace the old pads with the new ones the level of the fluid in the reservoir rises above the maximum, so you have to suck out a little bit of it with a syringe.Bring the level back below the max line and put the fluid in a container so if you need to add more later, it's there. When reassembling the front piston, push it in by hand, leaving the brake fluid reservoir open. Do the same thing with the rear brakes, open reservoir cap and rotate the piston clockwise with simple pliers. I hope I have also given my useful contribution.
Thanks so much for the video. Just changed mine today! You might want to mention that if the piston won't retract when turning the tool, you may need to break open the bleader valve to release some break fluid. Thanks again for the video, very helpful!
I'm not sure if it has been commented on yet but if you don't have the cube tool to compress rear caliper piston, a pair of needle nose pliers work in a pinch.
I've been turning and turning mine but it won't compress. Do I have a bad caliper?
Thanks for posting this. My rear drivers brake pads, rotor, and calipers need changed. My local shop is saying the caliper is different from other vehicles, but it looks like the only difference is maybe the cable for the parking brake? In either case they want to charge 200 bucks for an 80 part citing this supposed difference. I said no to do some research since it felt fishy. And apparently it was. This has helped greatly, thank you very much!
You’ll need the cube to turn the piston in. That’s the only difference
Very helpful, thanks. You can also turn the caliper piston in with a pair of channel-lock pliers. It's a lot easier, and just don't pinch the boot.
Adding that if you get it to rotate, but it doesn't seem to be retracting, you can use a C clamp to apply pressure. Just tighten it every half turn or so. Eventually, the piston will be loose enough that it should rotate as you tighten the clamp.
Good job showing how to do it. Photography is clear and informative. Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks
Please do a front and rear bearing replacement (tutorial) video also. Thanks. Love your videos.
Thanks for great video. I just did mine (2014-Prius V) I don’t have 4 doted pistons. Just regular.
Important- disconnect battery.
Use brake tool, rent from auto parts or buy from HF or Amazon for piston. It’s important to move back as turning clock wise. Opening bleeder valve helps turning easy, but it still needs to be in turning clock wise not pushing.
I also have different types of caliper bracket clips. Thanks to rock auto I got correct parts for rear brake job.
I purchased Bosch BC1391 pads and coated rotors.
Old rotors won’t come out easily, you need to keep hammering on all four side (of course check first if parking brake is not on) I used 8lb hammer and it brake loose in 4 shots.
If you guys leaving any helpful comments please mention which year and sub model you are working on because I think every year and sub model has some differences in parts.
Thanks again
instead of the hammer i used two bolts which i put on the side of the rotor. The bolts when screwed they push against the steel and that way they bring the rotors out that way
Attention for Auris/Corolla IM hybrid that have exact same powertrain but the brake parts are supplied by Bosch (rear) and Advics(Front). The left side piston is counterclockwise to push it, and right side is clockwise. But everything else are the same procedures.
Thank you guys for your excellent and straight forward videos, it has helped me to service my Toyota hybrid car. Much appreciate it.
I'm just passing by in the internet you know browsing for cars maintenance, then i saw your videos, well i like it, its a very good tutorial not only to me but to other also..now i got some technical idea from you, thanks a lot for the upload and God bless.
Thank you, I watched the front and back clips and they're awesome. Very helpful.
Always worth lubricating the sliding pins... In fact - they're cheap enough to always change the guides as well. No chance of binding calipers - especially if you live where they use salt on winter roads.
Thank mate. I've forgot about alligning the piston with the pad
Thanks again, NaB!
Gave up as I couldn't get it off and ran out of sunlight. LoL, forgot I had the E-brake on (too).
Thanx again and have a great one.
Danny3xd on the pri chat
Fantastic, yo! Just finished replacing mine at 150k and those rotors were frozen in there pretty tightly. I just hammered them out.
nicely done.
Can you do an in depth on how to tighten the parking brake cable. Mine loosened after replacing the rear calipers. I know there’s a bolt near the parking brake pedal, but I’m wondering what the recommended tightening setting is and how you know it’s right. Also how to access it and any other little tips and tricks to do this. Thanks!
Also you can jam the caliper between the bracket mount and the strut and it stays put to spin the piston.
Thank you for the vid.
I bought a new Prius LE awd-e in 2019 (which I think is the best bang-for-the-buck, cold-weather commuter car made), and just bought a '13 Prius V which needs brake work.
1 - Why disconnect the 12-volt battery? I didn't do that for the front brakes.
2 - Whenever I re-use brake pads, I put a piece of sand paper on a flat surface and rub the pad on it to remove the glaze.
Just in case you accidentally open the driver side door as you’re working on the caliper removal. It can cause the brake system to engage the caliper piston. Happen to other people before. Just a precaution
Ok, thanks.
Why would opening the door engage the rear brakes? Is that part of the hill-assist feature?
@@Davran2742 it’s part of the electrical brake system for the Prius.
Thank you very much for all the great information you provide in such good videos
Do you have any suggestion how to put the parking cable back to that hole. Mine came out during changing the pads. I have tried to put it back but no success. Thank you
Question, as I'm rotating the piston clockwise it is not going in, the gasket around it is also moving, should I be worried?
@@juanmelecio5178 try opening the bleeder valve a bit when turning the piston to relieve the pressure in there so it’ll be compressed it
Much appreciated. Why disconnect the batt?
So you don’t accidentally open the driver door or step on the brake pedal and cause the caliper piston to be engaged and popped out.
My '13 V rear brakes look like this, but some listings show rear brake shoes as well; are these top-hat brakes with parking brake pads inside the disk, or were there drum brakes on some Vs?
Hi I have a 2014 prius
Got some rear pads from Toyota in uk
The pads don’t have the holes for rattle pins
Is this normal
Thank
1st of all thanks for the vids guys very helpful and I like the humor too!
So I changed the front breaks and all but I completely forgot to pump before connecting the battery back and the breaks were going in all the way. I turned the car on and pumped while having the car on. I then realized I had to pump before connecting the battery back and so I disconnected the battery and I pumped again. My question is if this will cause a problem now?
No it won't
doing mine right now and I cant get the rear caliber mount off. tried sparying penetrant on it. tried shocking it, repeated those syeps... striped the lower head with impact. (by hand wasnt working) ideas?
@@BjornBoswell use a long breaker bar.
Need a video on resetting the sensor
I noticed that there is a letter T in the piston...I guess that is a good mark to check if it is press right..Just an additional helpful tip.
Is there is the way you can do Toyota Prius (3rd Gen) Rear Wheel Bearings replacement .
I so excited to see and learn how to fix mine. Thank you
we will once we can find time again haha...
Great video idea for me.
Thank you. This is very helpful. Prius is the best car made. I watched your front and rear brake replacement videos for the Prius and in both you mention a bolt to insert into rusty rotors if they are stuck. Do you know what size bolt this is? I live in Vermont where everything is rusted. Thanks
MrShankwheat it’s in the description box, M8 bolt
NutzAboutBolts ah, sorry. Thanks again
My pistons (both sides) would not go in when rotated clockwise. They just spun but did NOT retract. I then turned them counterclockwise and they did move out till they actually wobbled inside the boot. Then rethreaded them clockwise and they fully retracted! Are they bad?
Job complete hundreds saved . Thank you very much!!!
Open the bleeder,it's much easyer . to push the brake's piston, And thank you for the video !
Good video. Just needed to see the piston key in action. Thanks.
Will the need a code on the Radio on my 2012 Prius if I disconnected the negative on the battery?
I'm planning on doing all four brakes and rotors, should I execute the final brake pump step @11:00 after each brake I do, or can I do all 4 of them and then the brake pump step? Thanks!
Just to be on the safe side, just pump the brakes before you do the bleeding because the rears are electric pump.
@@NutzAboutBolts Pump the brakes after each newly installed rotor/pad, or once after they're all done? Also, do I need to do a brake bleed if I'm just changing pads and rotors?
ltwhiteagle pump the brakes after doing the install. You don’t need to flush the brake fluids after install but it’s more convenience since all four wheels are already off.
Why did you have to disconnect the battery?
Love these helpful videos. Also, has anyone noticed his voice sounds like that of Viggo Mortensen?
Why do you have to disconnect the negative from the battery to change the rotors and rear pads on the Toyota Prius?
Incase you accidentally step on the brake pedal or opening the driver side door, it’ll cause the caliper piston to be engage abs pop out
Dumb question, Ive always had rear drum brakes. If I jst dismantle to clean & lube parts, wull I still have to screw piston back in? I figure yes if caliper wont go on, but do I screw it all the way in or jst enuf to get caliper on. I KNOWCto make sure pin lines up w/piston. I subscribed, & Im lookn forward to review all ur videos! Thnx!
Treat it like the same as front rotors. You’d still have to push the piston back to put it back on the rotors.
why did you disconnected the power may i know please ?
If you open the driver door or get near the car with the key FOB, the car electronically pressurizes the brake system in preparation for you about to drive.
listen people some hybrids and elect cars will actuate the hydraulics quick just because when vehicle is off. not sure of the actual reason, doesnt matter cause if you have your fingers in there ,they are crushed. beware be safe disconnect 12 volt system
what happens if you just disconnect the red terminal instead of the negative terminal when disconnecting the battery?
not as safe if your wrench touches a body (grounded) part while loosening the + terminal.
It doesn't matter on the negative side.
My rear cylinders seem to drag on the rotor too much (loss of mpg, hot discs in winter - more warm than in front). The drag happens with the bleeder open so it's not the line. I made sure to align the cylinder with the pad's notch. Everything is new (Raybestos E3 from Rockauto) and I put Syl-glide grease on the pins with copper anti-size on the pads lobes. So what the heck is going on? The only thing I did not open is the cylinder and I left it with its factory grease. Been dragging ever since I installed it. New caliper, new pads, new rotor.
Been a few weeks, if you can give me some idea ...
@@luanbuda4818 1) The main issue is that the break caliper (the main piston) has a square rubber ring that won't retract the piston. When you depress the brakes, the liquid pushed the piston, and it's that ring that deforms and then pulls it back by 0.3mm roughly (you should see this movement by eye). You need to open and clean the caliper and regrease (I used AGS sil-glyde, manual recoomends Toyota red grease, use silicone based grease basically). At its worse you need to buy a rebuild kit and replace the o-rings etc.
2) In my case the Chinese 3rd party calipers I bought were shit - same issue as the og but much worse. I'm done with cheap 3rd party pieces from now on - unless they have a stellar, legendary reputation. The Chinese brake discs were very warped out and had a lot of lateral runout (several microns, borderline reject) and paired with the bad calipers it was making everything worse.
Start with cleaning/greasing the caliper(s) and if that doesn't work we'll talk.
Some forum also suggest removing the 2 ABS fuse located in the engine compartment. What do you think?
No needed, just don’t open the doors or step on the brake pedal, or else it’ll activate the abs system.
@@NutzAboutBolts may be i say stupid thing. But when you finishing your work, you need to open the door for brake pumping and it also should activate ABS...isn't it??
@@pit9820 excellent question
@@pit9820 i remember not pumping brakes or opening doors till after reconnecting battery and everything worked. But dont take my advice.
@@skorpyo331 I finished replacing all my breake pads. When i finshed with rear I didn't forget to pump before connecting the battery and everything was OK. But after I finished with front side, I forgot to pump and started engin. There were a lot errors, but I stop engin then disconnect battery, pumped, coneccted, started and everything was OK again=)
I couldn’t get the bolt out of the top where the break pad goes . Tried torching it and now I’m stuck on it I put lubricant on and gonna try again tomorrow. Afraid of stripping it at this point . Any recommendations.?
The caliper bracket bolt? Use a breaker bar
@@NutzAboutBolts thanks yeah i did ended up having to get a small heavy impact socket and ended up torching it then using the Milwaukee right angle hammer drill to get it out took a good time . Def had rust
@@den-yc3hv nice work, strong torque usually take those bolts out even with rust. Just spray some rust penetration liquid on there and wait to remove it.
Thank you for the video. What battery should I disconnect, the one in the front? On the engine compartment? Also, if you disconnect and pump brakes before turning it back on, you will not get an error code? Thanks again. Very nice video.
the battery is in the rear trunk, no you won't get an error code once you reconnect the battery and pump the brakes before turning it on.
Hi. I disconnected the battery and replaced the brakes. When I turned it all back on, the key fob will unlock but won't lock. The doors sensor won't lock either. I get a long beep. Any ideas?
Did you pump your brake pedal before turning it back on?
Yes. A lot.
Just a follow up. The car was a mess I believe due to a low battery. It didn't want start forever. After trying about 10 times, I finally got it to turn over (ready). I drove it for 40 minute and that seems to have taken care of the problem. Of course, all radio setting, trip A and B, clock were gone. Scary!! Thank you for replying to my questions anyway.
I am slightly confused. Assuming that rear breaks are operated by the electric pump, and you disconnected 12v battery, by pushing on break pedal without 12v connected you only were pressing front calipers. Would it be more logical to connect battery and then to press on pedal several times to make sure piston clearance is correct? Would be nice to hear from toyota tech or someone with access to their manual
? What is your question about?
@NutzAboutBolts he's saying pumping the brakes with the 12v disconnected does nothing for the rears because they're electronically activated. His question was, wouldn't it make sense to first connect the 12v before pumping the brakes for the rears?
Thank you. @GrandPrix46
If I could upvote twice... Thanks!
Great video! Question: I just did this service on my 2012 Prius rear brakes. I noticed that after installing the new pads, I couldn’t get the caliper back on. The caliper is not blocking it - it’s fully compressed it; it’s the slider pins, which don’t seem to slide in much, even after cleaning and lube. Is it possible there’s dirt and rust INSIDE the shaft of the bracket? I’m considering removing the bracket and using a wire brush on a drill to clean out the shaft. Thoughts?
If the caliper pin hole is blocking the pins to go in, I’d use a brush and drill to clean out the hole.
@@NutzAboutBolts thanks for the quick reply! I actually thought maybe the pins were too long, so I’ll try cleaning them out.
@@thomasjordan1892 if it’s your original pins, it shouldn’t be lol
I have a 2012 Lexus CT200h. Are the rear brakes exactly like the Prius? I did the front pads last year and they were simple enough to do. But I don't have the special tool to wind back the caliper piston. I have always used a big C clamp to push the piston back out.
Good question. This is why I came here. Do you know if they are the same?
Use a set of long needle nose pliers to turn it back in, doesn't have to be that tool (though it's inexpensive and easy to get).
Great video, just what I needed. 🙏
I did this job....the new pads I bought had a backing plate similar to OE, I didn't see any reason to add the original shims. New pads didn't come with any shims to add.
Any reason I should have done differently?
If the new pads came equipped with shims for the back, you don’t need to add extra. But if it didn’t come with one, reuse the old shims.
@@NutzAboutBolts what is the reason for reusing the factory ones?
@@typhoon320i the shims helps prevent noise issues when the caliper piston is engage with the brake pads.
I used the old c-clamp method for driving the piston home, but luckily the swivel was stuck and she screwed* right in? I hope I didn’t wreck the bloody thing
Great video. Very helpful . Like the slight humor too. I was other video, usually follow yours. Thanks
Can I use a piston caliper compression tool to push the piston in and then turn it where it needs to be, or do I have to turn it while pushing?
The tool compresses the brakes when you turn it. thats the way they r designed
I'm looking to change by brakes on my 2013 prius. I'm new to this so don't know what "pushing the piston in" means completely or how far it has to be pushed in? In the video it doesn't look like much. How do you know when the piston is pushed in far enough? Thanks in advance for the advice.
You push it in till you can’t push in anymore, it’ll be stopped by the caliper fork on the sides.
Thank you for the advice, much appreciated.
For rear front or rear, do you have to disconnect the battery in the trunk?
@@joeyreinert I’d do it if you’re not experience to do this job. Just in case you accidentally engage the caliper piston.
@@NutzAboutBolts definitely not experienced. So, good idea to disconnect the battery in the truck?
May I ask, why did you disconnect the battery? Never done that on any rotor before.
So in case you accidentally open the driver door with your key in your pocket or accidentally step on the brake pedal. It’ll cause the caliper piston to engage and will cause damage to the calipers.
@@NutzAboutBolts Ah Yes, Thank you. This must be electric and hydraulic. So when the engine shuts off and you are running on the battery, you still have brakes. Got it! Never worked on a hybrid car before. Glad I am doing some research.
I changed my rear pads and rotors on my Prius. (The original set lasted 106,000 miles). I spun the piston back into the caliper with a caliper tool but i forgot to pay attention to lining up the cross pattern with the bump on the back of the pad to make sure the piston sits on it. I test drove it and it seems fine
but is this going to be a problem? Thanks
Yes, it’ll cause uneven wear down the line. I’d suggest remove the pads and realign the dot in its place.
NutzAboutBolts Thanks, got her straightened out. Your videos have saved me a ton of $. Do you have a donation account to show my gratitude?
MrShankwheat thanks! There’s a paypal link on my channel on the right side. We appreciate it! 👍🏼
Is it common for rear brakes to freeze up (but you can still drive the car as if nothings wrong)? I asked because this is what the dealership said to me when I brought it in for an oil change/inspection. Spealership?
never had that happened on my Prius. whats the symptom on the rear brakes?
NutzAboutBolts Maybe they deliberately put the parking brake on so that the pads appeared to be “frozen“ together? I wish I could prove that they were lying to me.
NutzAboutBolts I am so angry at myself for not Taking pictures while I was looking at it because the set up look completely different than yours here but it’s the same car
@@rainafortini5797 interesting, I’m not too sure what’s frozen, is the pads worn down more than normal? What’s the pad thickness? What does he mean by frozen?
Can anyone tell me where I get the tool press the piston back in? and is it necessary to replace rotor when changing rear or front breaks??
I listed the part in the description box. Its best practice to replace the rotors because of the wear and tear the old brake pads did to it. Shops can cut the rotors too if you want to save money but usually, it'll cost almost close to the new rotors, so we usually just change it because its new.
Ppl say only when you feel the pulsation when breaking or breaks not breaking that well
@@Romio-we8bjyes, eventually it’ll happen. It’s a 50/50, sometimes it’ll pulsate and sometimes it won’t. Happened to us before, and rotors are cheaper so I just change them out when doing the brake job.
@thanhkhong9561 I never chsnge rotors when changing breaks rotors last longer than break pads
I don't understand why they don't put a regular piston on that rear caliper. I've changed rear pads on numerous vehicles that just had a regular caliper you can compress with a big c clamp
what about bosch quietcast brakes....there is BC1354 that does not have a spreader spring.
I usually just buy oem since they’re cheap. I haven’t changed my brakes for 10 years now and its still enough pad life left
@@NutzAboutBolts I am debating on whether to change my brakes at this time as there is still about 50% left with 80,000 miles on my 2015 PRIUS. My daughter taking car out of state to Chicago and will be there for 4 years while she is in college. So the big debate is should I change brakes now or just wait until she gets back in 4 years?
@@stantonporsche I’d wait, my vehicles at 230k on original brake pads and rotors. Prius has regenerative braking system so it doesn’t wear out like your normal convention vehicle
@@NutzAboutBolts thanks so much for your advise
What size torque tool do you need for the prius read brakes?
1/2 torque wrench for the caliper bolts to the bracket. It’s all listed in the description.
What kind tool did u use to compress
its the cube piston tool, link in the description box
If im doing both sides (all four) can I wait to pump the brakes at the end?? Or after each one of four?
Not easy getting this question answered anywhere.
I pump the brakes when I complete each corner, as if you don't you can have brake fluid being pushed out of the top of the master cylinder making a mess, due to pushing back the caliper pistons.
my 2012 didn't have the clips on the brake pads, are these required? thank you
Should get the brake hardware to prevent noises
howdoyou remove stuck 14mm ? 10 feet long breaker bar?
How do u turn off the parking break
Shouldn't you remove the master cylinder cover when you do this?
you can, but we didn't do it a couple of times and it never gave us any problems.
Fyi, my brake fluid reservoir filled up as I pushed the pistons back in, I had to syphon some fluid out to prevent a spillover. Probably because I kept the fluid at the mark as the pads wore down, so made since there would be too much in the system after 4 calipers were pushed back.
Great audio and no noisy intros. Your voice is made for instructional purposes.
Did you really need to disconnect the battery?
Excellent tutorial
Ty
What would happen if you replaced the pads without turning or replacing the rotor?
Brake pulsation.
You forgot to tell people to take the cap off the master cylinder before compressing the piston. Also no mention of why you disconnected the battery. I do realize they are regenerative brakes but is that really necessary?
Yes that is necessary or else the and pops out the piston and Toyota must do the reset. Or you buy a vci cable and program to do it
@@unmc21182 I disassembled / cleaned / lubed a front and rear brake on my wife's Prius without disconnecting the battery and without incident. I didn't compress the piston as there was no need.
So was this a bad idea and I was lucky or is it only necessary when compressing the piston ?
@@DandyDoesIt hi there. Lucky.
The rear brakes are controlled by an electric motor. If for some reason you opened the door and the electric brake motor started with the caliper off...the piston would have been closed trying to sense the position of the rear brake....locking up....if you try to force it back, the pressure is sent through the line to the actuator (electric brake motor) and ruins it. If you don't force it, the electric actuator has to be place in a neutral or open valve position and the mechanic can the push the caliper piston back in safely without damaging the motor.
After thinking if did it on my ct200...I looked around for tons of info....that's my understanding so far.
@@unmc21182 Now that I think about it, I believe I did actually disconnect the battery. I remember having to crawl over the back seat to reconnect it because the hatch closed. This is a good reminder for next time though as I totally forgot this was necessary.
@@DandyDoesIt good man. :-)
No joke? 4:34 we use 5 bolts to secure the Weel but inside we have only 4 small bolts to secure the rotor?!
So the Prius brake pads are gonna last 150k or more miles. Do you recommend replacing the brake rotors as part of the job? Just wondering if the original rotors will last 300k miles without warping.
I usually replace the pads with the rotors, if the rotors are warped bad, I would replace the rotors, if its not, I would have it cut since you can reuse the rotors.
NutzAboutBolts good rotors are so cheap online that you might as well use new all the time
I cheated out once and didn't replace the rotors and one of them cracked while driving through the mountains.That was a bad day
Is there a name for that tool to compress the piston?
Ari it’s in the description box, it’s called a cube
wheel lug nut torque specification?
80 ft. Lbs in a star pattern
@@NutzAboutBolts Thanks, it is lower than most, thought it might could go in the description.
I appreciate your engagement here!
@@jamesalles139 usually passenger vehicles are between 76-80ft lbs, suvs are a bit higher and van I usually do 80-90. Never had wheels falling off on me with those torques
@@NutzAboutBolts Much preferred than those who use an impact wrench, and don't care!
@@jamesalles139 😅 true. I use torque wrench on my vehicle. Lol impact gun over torques and can’t calculate
So this is the same for Lexus?
Yes, but make sure to disconnect the battery so you prevent the caliper piston from accidentally engage if it’s a hybrid system.
@@NutzAboutBolts thank you it is a hybrid I will disconnect battery, am also subscribing to you vids thank you so much
front and rear pad are the same size
What is the torque of the bolts
its in the description box... not sure which one you're asking about.
NutzAboutBolts according to this document attachments.priuschat.com/attachment-files/2018/03/142802_2010_Toyota_Prius_Repair_Manual__-maintenance-__brakes.pdf page 21 the torque you are providing is incorrect. Mounting is torqued to 42 ft.lb not 30.
Only 30 ft. lbs for the Caliper bracket bolts? Its not >70?
yeah, its only 30 ft. lbs because its a small 14mm bolt, and not the 17mm bolt.
Don't you mean inch pounds?
THANKS ALOT
Will a robot be able to do this? Funny Ninja bolt removal!
why disconnect the battery?
you can cause the caliper piston to activate which causes it to extend.
ABS brake system is live even when the car is off if you open the driver side door to get something it will pressurize and push the Pistons out with full pressure little scary
Jonathan Jonathan The car won’t apply brakes unless you press the brake pedal regardless of the pump activation.
Great video. But please address why disconnecting the battery doesn't screw up the onboard computer.
Why is everything so funny to this guy?
What if the pistom comes out
replace the seals and put the piston back in or replace the caliper.
Then it's poss the actuator activated and needs service from dealer....disconnect the battery..the actuator is then dead and. And pop out the piston
Thanks man
Where do you get the special cube to drive back the rear piston?
