Doing some *desperately* needed maintenance on my gen2
Spent the day replacing my drum brakes on my '07 Prius. Honestly, the hardest part was getting the tires off. The rear wheels haven't been removed since the tires were installed (I know, I know...), and the wheels had basically fused to the drum. Some rust breaker, a flat pry bar, and a mallet removed them though.
Seems like I did it all correctly? It was pretty challenging, but it brakes, I did some testing in a huge empty parking lot before I got on the road. And the E-Brake actually holds my car in place now too!
