Toyota Prius Prime Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Toyota Prius Prime seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Prius Prime keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Toyota Prius Prime is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Toyota Prius Prime together.

What Is Included in the Toyota Prius Prime Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Toyota Prius Prime includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Prius Prime, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Toyota Prius Prime piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Prius Prime caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Toyota Prius Prime, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Prius Prime, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Toyota Prius Prime application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Toyota Prius Prime

A caliper kit is the right call for the Toyota Prius Prime in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Prius Prime are already compromised. During a high-mileage Prius Prime overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Toyota Prius Prime are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Prius Prime brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Toyota Prius Prime.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Toyota Prius Prime

New OEM-specification calipers for the Toyota Prius Prime are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Prius Prime vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Toyota Prius Prime housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Prius Prime replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Toyota Prius Prime Is Due

• Toyota Prius Prime pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Prius Prime worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Toyota Prius Prime with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Prius Prime brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Toyota Prius Prime caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Prius Prime corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Toyota Prius Prime Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Toyota Prius Prime at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Toyota Prius Prime has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Prius Prime. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Prius Prime caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Toyota Prius Prime after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Toyota Prius Prime to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Prius Prime must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Toyota Prius Prime.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Toyota Prius Prime kit?

A new caliper for the Toyota Prius Prime has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Prius Prime housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Toyota Prius Prime applications.
