Nutz About Bolts Prius Maintenance Videos

Just unplug the fuel injectors. Any code set will self clear after 5 startups.

 

Yeah I think thats what I'm going to do.


These videos helped alot. Thanks to OP and creator.

 

If you have the plugs out, unplugging the injectors will also work.
Seems it would be a lot easier, and less risky, maybe damaging the wiring(?) to
unplug the fuse/relay.

 

Just wanted to Thank N&B for all his work and fine vids.

 

Do these apply to a 2008?

 

Big thanks to NaB! Recently did a round of 100k maintenance (spark plugs, coolant flush, trans fluid flush) and your videos made it easy.

 

Thank you for posting this. You're a super hero named Prius Man.

 

@NutzAboutBolts can I a suggest a minor edit? Your video on front brakes in the description your tool list says M8.25 hex bolt to remove the rotors, I believe the correct bolt is an M8 x 1.25. That might help others find the part a little quicker. Thanks again for all the great videos.

 

Good catch. Unfortunately I think he's moved on; last post was Feb 01, 2021. He's done a few product reviews on his Youtube lately, but not Prius or automotive specific.

 

You don’t need to replace those bolts; they aren’t one time use bolts.

 

These are extra bolts, you need to purchase, screw into threaded holes on brake rotors/drums, to help break them loose.

 

As an alternative, M8✕1.25 bolts are used in a bunch of places on the car, so if you need a couple to pop the rotors loose, you can usually find a couple nearby to borrow, then just put them back later.

 

Take them off old worn out hubs...
