Rear brakes replacement thread

Our 'advanced search feature' is working once again, thank you for using it before posting.

Brake Pad Thickness specs | PriusChat

In the above link, @ken1784 mentions 11mm for a new front pad, and 4mm for a new rear shoe.

You might also consider a new mechanic, unless the suggested work is costing you little or nothing.

Let us know if you need a recommendation for a local mechanic, or you can practice your search skills again.

 

Happy new year to you too!

The new pad thickness for the front brakes is 11 mm, and the minimum is 1 mm.

The new pad thickness on the rear shoes is 4 mm and the minimum is 1 mm.

I hope that confirms your research.

 

gen3 only came with front and rear pads, so 11mm would makes sense.

Of course this lead me to measure some cheapo Ctek shoes that were never installed, and it looks like 4mm. Hopefully you won't need to waste additional time and gas on another opinion over this particular issue.

Note: when using the "advanced search" feature, you can select which gen or subforum to search within, bypassing results for other models.
