uttak IS250

I used standard copper vaseline grease on the rear calipers. Nevertheless on front I tried to use ceramic grease similar to product in link below, but from local producer. So far so good...

Circled is the area that you should ensure is clean and free or rust - it not it wont give a good seal to the rubber boot and let moisture and dirt in and it wont be long before the innards rusts and seizes. Not forgetting a good grease (one that does not attack the rubber boots making them slack) and as John said above, make sure to check them and re-grease on an annual basis. I do mine every 6 months as they don't take long to do and its no real hassle.  

Yes, I changed it to the shine and apply good grease. I'll check and grease it every 6 months (summer / winter tires exchange). I bought this car some months ago therefore I have still something to do...

That's how mine looked but to be honest after trying heat mine wouldn't budge. I just got a replacement caliper from eBay and changed it over it doesn't take long.

Yes, it doesn't take long but you paied 400 lb, I paied one bottle of whiskey :-)

Dear all, I did it. I have Lexus IS 250, 2008. Rear calipers were totaly seized. I tried to use different oils, lubricants, break fluid, small hammer, big hammer... Only what can help you is heating. Electrical  heating gun is to weak. You need oxygen-acetylene burner and gently hammering in correct place and direction.
