Wanted: front brake calipers for 2006 rx400h (urgent)


Recommended Posts

Hi All, 

My mechanic has today reported that one of my front calipers needs replacing as the slide pin had seized and has sheared inside the caliper.  He suspects the other one may have suffered the same issue. 

Does anybody have any serviceable calipers available for sale? Or know somebody breaking an rx400H?

Correction:  it's not calipers that I need, I need carriers, ideally with decent slide pins.  I'm waiting to hear back from lexusbreakers.co.uk, but if you have any, let me know.

A good "independent" should be able to drill out the sheared slide pin and fit new ones. The well regarded Lexus and Toyota specialist TechOne based in Sidcup did just this for me when i had a seized rear callipers on my 400h.

I have sourced a pair from a breakers now,  so thanks for the suggestions.  

For future reference, has anybody found new slide pins from an after market supplier?  I've only seen them at Lexus for £10 each pin +vat.

I know maybe not relevent but, this happened to my wife's the week before Christmas. I managed to drill, tap and bang out (on Christmas Eve) the stuck pin. 

Might be worth checking / replacing pins for those with older cars.
