Great walkthrough! I'm just about do do a brake upgrade so I'll probably change the slide pins while I'm at it.

Just to check though, where you've listed the quantities.

Do the two last part numbers (the bushes) come in pairs? Or do I need 4 of each?

2 of each, only 1 slide pin on each side has the rubber bush

Just one comment... Lithium based grease is good for bearings but not good for lubricating sliding pins and rubber. There are special silicon based grease designed for this purpose, rubber friendly and high temperature resistant. Copper grease is suitable for metal to metal contacts between brake pads and callipers.

Lithium soap grease is what Lexus state in the workshop manual, use something else if you wish.

Just to add some additional useful info, part numbers as follows:

Bank 1 Sensor 1 - Lexus # 89465-50120

Bank 1 Sensor 2 - Lexus # 89465-50140

Bank 2 Sensor 1 - Lexus # 89465-50130

Bank 2 Sensor 2 - Lexus # 89465-50140

On the ones on mine that siezed up, a spray of penetrating oil and some hefty thumps directly onto the end of the pin. After that, a socket and ratchet handle on the end would then turn the pin in the bracket. Eventually they would free up enough to work them out the of the bracket and allow the pins and holes to be cleaned out. Cleaning them is easier with the bracket removed from the car. Freeing the pin(s) I found easier with the brackets still on the car (but may work if you have a vice to hold the bracket if you have removed it).

Hi.

Good guide however the grease; is that lithium soap based glycol grease?

Yes, it is :)
