Inspect the front pads for wear. If the pads are worn excessively, then replace the pads with the new part number. 5. Add disc brake caliper grease to both sides of the pad support clips and the anti-squeal shims. Figure 3. Figure 4. 2 1 1 No. 1 Disc Brake Pad Support Plate 2 No. 2 Disc Brake Pad Support Plate : 1 1 Add Grease Here (Pad Support Clips) NOTE Install the new anti-squeal shims and the pad wear indicators to the brake pads in the correct position to ensure quiet operation. Figure 5. : 1 1 Add Grease to These Surfaces 6. Install the pads into the brake caliper support assembly. 7. Install the brake caliper and tighten the caliper bolts. Torque: 34 N*m (347 kgf*cm, 25 ft*lbf) 8. Install the wheel and tighten the wheel nuts. Torque: 103 N*m (1050 kgf*cm, 76 ft*lbf) 9.

Introduction Some 2010 Prius vehicles may experience rear brake squeak when backing up or moving forward during the ?rst few brake applications when the brakes are cold. An updated rear brake shim kit is available to reduce the likelihood of this condition occurring. Repair Procedure 1. Test drive the vehicle to con?rm the squeak is coming from the rear brakes. The condition occurs more frequently when backing up during light brake pedal application after cold soak. 2. Remove rear brake shims. Refer to the Technical Information System (TIS) 2010 Prius Repair Manual: Brake – Brake (Rear) Brake: Rear Brake: Removal 3. Clean the rear brake pad backing plates with a clean shop towel and apply a small amount of black disc brake grease to the backing plate of each rear brake pad. NOTE Make sure disc brake grease is not applied to the lining of the rear brake pads. 4. Install the No. 1 Anti-squeal shims. Install the No. 2 Anti-squeal shims. Figure 3. 5. Using the Variable Pin Wrench (SST 09960-10010), slowly rotate the caliper piston until the piston groove is positioned as shown in the illustration below. 6. Install new rear brake anti-squeal shims with brake pads into the rear caliper assemblies brackets. Refer to (TIS), 2010 Prius Repair Manual: Brake – Brake (Rear) Brake: Rear Brake: Installation NOTE • When installing the rear disc brake caliper assembly on the rear disc brake caliper mounting bracket, ensure the protrusion on the brake pad is centered in the caliper piston groove. • It is important to ensure the protrusion is not contacting the outer edges of the caliper piston groove. (both sides) 7. Road test the vehicle to con?rm the condition has been reduced.

Brake Noise: A squeak, squeal, clunk, or groan that occurs when the brakes are applied or released. b. Brake Judder: A vibration that can be felt in the vehicle, steering wheel, or brake pedal when the brakes are applied. c. Pedal Feel: The effort needed to operate the brakes is too high or too low. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Verify the condition by road testing the vehicle with the customer. 2. Determine the specific brake issue based on the description in the Service Information above. 3. Follow the appropriate repair procedure(s), listed on the following pages, for your specific issue. BRAKE NOISE • Brakes can make a range of noises when applied or released. Some noises are normal and no repair action should be taken. • Use the following descriptions to identify the specific type of brake noise and the appropriate repair: Squeak noise when the brakes are cold: • Usually occurs during the first few stops in the morning. • This is a normal condition. No service action is necessary Squeak noise with the brakes at normal operating temperatures: • Refer to technical bulletins specific to the model of vehicle regarding this issue. • If there are no bulletins for the car you are working on, install OE type pads using the information listed under Brake Service on page 5 of this bulletin and the appropriate Service Manual procedures. Notes about brake pads and brake noise: Original Equipment (OE) brake pads are installed on all current Infiniti vehicles at the factory. • The OE pads use a Non-asbestos Organic (NAO) compound.

SYMPTOM When the brakes are applied normally, the driver feels a juddering vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal, and/or hears a squealing noise.CORRECTIVE ACTION Refinish the front brake discs, and install new brake pads with V-springs. NOTE: If the vehicle already has V springs and the NS263H or NF87P brake pads installed, this service bulletin does not apply. Proceed with normal troubleshooting. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Remove some brake fluid from the master cylinder. 2. Raise and support the vehicle. 3. Remove the front wheels. 4. Remove the front brake hose mounting bolt. BRAKE HOSE MOUNTING BOLT FLANGE BOLT7. Check the brake disc thickness. Maximum refinishing limit: 26.0 mm (1.02 in) 8. If the disc is within the service limit for refinishing, refinish it with a Honda-approved, commercially available on-car brake lathe. If the disc is not within the service limit, replace the disc. 9. Apply a thin coat of M-77 assembly paste to the retainer mating surface of the caliper bracket. 10. Install the pad retainers, then wipe off any excess assembly paste. 11. Mount the brake caliper piston compressor tool on the caliper body. 12. Press in the piston with the compressor tool so the caliper will fit over the brake pads. Make sure the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down.
