Rear disc brakes & pads guide (UK)

Depends on with of the two rear disc brake setup you have.

For first type:

This is not a very good video as it doesn’t show how to clean or lubricate anything and they let the caliber hang from hose. But it shows everything else.

For second type Akebono I could not find a instructuons for a Prius but this is the exact same setup on some Corollas, RAV4s or Celicas.

But again it doesn’t show how to clean or lubricate anything. You can probably find a lot better guide somewhere.

You do not need a computer. Best is to follow Brake service guide to make sure that computer has no control over brakes when doing the work.

 

You should clean the slide pins and lubricate them with silicon grease. Also the areas that the brake pads slide against should be cleaned enough that pads can move freely. In that and most setups that’s the caliper bracket (part that you remove before the disc can be removed). You might need to use something like file but don’t file it down just clean the corrosion away. For those areas use very little high temp grease (brake grease can be used for bought these and slide pins).

Also clean ta face of the hub so that new brake disc sits flush. Sand paper and file works for this. Again just get the corrosion off.

The amount of cleaning that needs to be done mostly depends on the conditions where you drive. So if you don’t drive on salted roads you don’t really need that much cleaning. That’s why some people are ok without really doing any.
