Nutz About Bolts Prius Maintenance Videos

yeah these Assembly gets damaged easily by rocks. It’s so common for these Prius.

 

It is a lot easier to use car ramps to do an oil change. No center jacks in the way. No need to use safety stands. Just caulk a back wheel.

 

I just hit 217K and still have yet to change my pads either

 

yep, I’m at 220k+ and still running on original pads and rotors lol

 

Not bad on the 2012.

When you gonna upgrade ?

Prime it up .

 

when it dies, wife thinking about the rav4 hybrid next lol... and I’m trying to get a sienna hybrid when it comes out...

 

Can't wait for the videos!

 

lol it might be for a while since this Prius is running good. I’m just too lazy to get an alignment since the rear tires has toe wear.

 

I just hope this doesn't turn out like what happened with @The Critic .

Let's just say he went a different route and is a Ram man.

Be careful when car shopping.

 

lol I don’t like American car. They break down too much.

 

It was $10k cheaper than a comparable Tundra. I can fix a lot of stuff for $10k.

 

Or a lot of accessorizing your can do.

 

they also need a lot of repairs lol... one of my friend works at ford and he tells me all the time that he fixes a lot of broken stuff on ford cars because they don’t last long and fall apart.

 

Great videos, Thanks!

My wife has 2010 Lexus HS250H, I've been told that it is very similar to the Prius. Unfortunately, bc it was only made for 3 years, there is not alot of information in the forum or YouTube, etc.

I've used your videos to work on her car before but I was wondering if the video you put out on how to bleed the brakes without scanner/software would translate to work on our HS250h?

Also, the rubber "boot" on one of the front disc brake sub-assemblies has a tear in it. Do you know if that is fixable? What sites have you found useful for ordering parts? Or do I just replace the assembly?

I hope you don't take offense that I'm asking about a Lexus on Prius chat, but we have had 2 Prius's in the past, should have stuck with Prius rather than buying the hs250h. That wasn't my decision

 

If you can get into "invalid mode" for the Lexus, I'm sure it would be the same thing. Lexus is just a luxury brand of Toyota so that's why you see similarities on their cars. As for the boot tear, which part are you referring to? you can post a picture, it'll be easier for everyone to determine if its repairable or replaceable. I usually buy my parts on RockAuto.com, Amazon, and ebay.

 

If it's caliper glide pin boot it's no big deal. If if it's a caliper piston boot, I'd light my hair on fire. Overreaction?

 

We just watched Hercules this weekend and you got me thinking of Hades:



Very visual image.

 

you still watch that?

 

With kids and COVID, we are watching more Disney these days.

But there are worse things to watch.
