Knowledge of the front and back center jack points and the associated safety precautions. I wish I had taken some pictures.īefore I describe the process, I am assuming the reader has the following background:ġ. This is my attempt to put all this information together. The process I used has been described in pieces in several posts. I finally completed the job today and it was a success. I did not get it done at that time because I was not comfortable trusting a technician at a discount oil change shop with the Prius brakes.Īfter doing some research and reading the Toyota service manual I was ready for the job. A few oil changes back the technician had also run a test on the brake fluid and mentioned that it had 2% moisture and needed to be replaced. Talking to friends and a quick web search pointed to the moisture in the brake fluid as the most likely cause for the problem. The best way to describe it is that brakes felt spongy. It is running great and the brakes work fine.

My 2008 Prius recently crossed 90K miles.
