Is it really that easy? What about the hand brake dont I have to turn some cog to get the disks off?

You will need to take the caliper off to get the discs off. There are 2x 17mm(I think) bolts on the rear of the caliper that you need to take off to remove it. Then the disc may just come straight off. If not then this is when you have to back off the little wheel thing for the handbrake.

Be warned - if you are putting back on Lexus discs, then will most probably rub against the back plate - the handbrake shoe mounting plate.

Personnaly I just just it to wear itself in but supposedly you can knock the plate back a bit with a hammer - or failing that grind it back a bit!! Nice eh - good old Lexus!
