Hello,

If I can jump in here. I like the semi metallic because they have a less tendency to squeak but the ceramics do last if you can keep them quiet. Here is a guide to help walk you through the steps of replacing the pads with diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hi,

The Yaris wasn't offered in the US in 2005. However, here is a link that shows how brake pads and rotors are replaced on a front wheel drive vehicle. I'm confident it will get you through the procedure.

If you run into any trouble, let me know.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
