STOPFLEX Carbon Ceramic Discs and Pads Upgrade - Toyota GR Yaris Installation Instructions

Safety Precautions: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Allow the brake system to cool completely before beginning installation. Wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves. Consult the vehicle's service manual for specific torque specifications. If unsure about any step, consult a qualified mechanic.

Tools Required:

Wheel chocks Jack and jack stands Lug wrench Socket set Torque wrench Brake cleaner Copper anti-seize lubricant (optional) Brake pad spreader tool Appropriate tools for brake line disconnection (if necessary for caliper removal) Parts List: STOPFLEX Carbon Ceramic Discs (Front & Rear) STOPFLEX Carbon Ceramic Pads (Front & Rear) (Optional) New brake hardware (clips, shims, etc.)

Installation Procedure:

1. Preparation: Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel to be removed. Chock the rear wheels. Raise the vehicle using a jack and securely support it with jack stands. Remove the wheel. 2. Front Disc and Pad Replacement: Remove Old Pads: Carefully remove the old brake pads from the caliper. Note their orientation. Compress Caliper Pistons: Use a brake pad spreader tool to carefully compress the caliper pistons back into their bores. Remove Caliper (if necessary): If necessary to remove the disc, carefully disconnect the brake line from the caliper. Ensure to properly plug the brake line to prevent fluid loss. Consult your vehicle's repair manual for specific instructions and torque specifications. If the caliper does not need to be fully removed to replace the disc, skip this step. Remove Old Disc: Remove the caliper mounting bolts (if caliper was removed). Remove the old brake disc. Consult your vehicle's repair manual for specific instructions and torque specifications. Install New Disc: Clean the hub surface thoroughly. Install the new STOPFLEX carbon ceramic disc. Secure it with a lug nut (hand-tightened) to prevent movement during caliper installation. Install Caliper (if removed): Reinstall the caliper, tightening the mounting bolts to the torque specifications in your vehicle's repair manual. Reconnect the brake line (if disconnected), using new crush washers and torquing to the correct specification. Bleed the brake system. Install New Pads: Install the new STOPFLEX carbon ceramic pads into the caliper, ensuring they are properly seated and oriented correctly. Repeat: Repeat steps for the other front wheel. 3. Rear Disc and Pad Replacement: Follow the same procedure as the front disc and pad replacement. Note that the rear brake system may have a different caliper design and/or an integrated parking brake mechanism. Consult your vehicle's repair manual for specific instructions. 4. Final Steps: Install the wheels and tighten the lug nuts to the correct torque specifications. Lower the vehicle. Pump the brake pedal several times to ensure proper brake function. Bed in the new brake pads and discs according to the STOPFLEX bedding-in procedure (see below). Check brake fluid level and top up if necessary. STOPFLEX Carbon Ceramic Bedding-In Procedure: Perform 10 moderate stops from 60 mph to 20 mph, allowing the brakes to cool slightly between each stop. Perform 5 hard stops from 60 mph to 10 mph, allowing the brakes to cool significantly between each stop. Drive normally for 5-10 minutes to allow the brakes to cool completely. Important Notes: Proper bedding-in is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the STOPFLEX carbon ceramic discs and pads. Monitor brake pad wear regularly and replace when necessary. Consult a qualified mechanic if you have any concerns about the installation or performance of your STOPFLEX brake components. Brake performance may be reduced immediately after installation. Allow a few days of normal driving for the brakes to fully bed in. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
