It accepts brake pads with the friction material standard number 10x.14230, though pads and pad wear sensors are not included. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10mm M10x1.0 thread size, and the bleeder screw is included to facilitate proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Toyota Corolla, Prius, Prius AWD-e, and Prius Prime
• Addresses issues with brake fluid leaks or piston corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Toyota model and verify the trailing axle position before installation. This caliper does not include brake pads or pad wear sensors, so these components must be sourced separately. Properly torque the mounting bracket and bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain optimal brake performance. Use compatible brake pads matching friction material standard 10x.14230 for best results.
