Thanks for the quick replys
The caliper is a new one
I just fitted the top part of the caliper. The bottom section seems ok. The sliders are working, definetly not stuck. I will give them a clean and grease though.
Its just as if the brake has stuck on...the same effect as the old one I replaced!
Cheers!

Can anyone please help?
I just replaced the nearside front caliper and put new pads in at the same time. Despite clamping off the brake pipes when replacing the caliper the pedel felt a bit spongy after. I bled the brake and the pedal felt fine. Problem is...the brake is jammed hard on! It seems like the new caliper won't retract. I checked the pads and they were fitted ok.
Has anyone got any ideas? All suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers!

Hello everyone
Just bought a 2000 is200 SE with 67000 miles. I can't believe I have taken so long to "discover" Lexus. Superb build quality and drives like new.
I plan on giving it a basic service at the weekend (dreading the oil filter change from what I have read!!).

Ormi....many thanks for the advice. The sliders needed a good clean and lubricating. Once that was done all was well.
Thanks to everyone for the replies.
