    @steve2006 hey Steve as I’m changing the pads rear passenger calliper pin bolts on drivers side car has done 100k miles should I check discs as well ???????
  15. Johnlex
    I’m just replacing the calliper and the carrier it’s well and truly seized. I’ve also order new pins for the other side just to replace and a tube of rubber grease. Waiting for parts the. Will do all myself.

    @steve2006 intend to buy mainly off eBay oat Lexus parts direct as after market stuff doesn’t play ball or you can’t get it. Lexus are a pain for that I’ve got a huge service in January at Lexus 120k for the extended warranty I still have

    @steve2006 ok cool I will have a look I’ve also got a brake and clutch centre on the corner of my road which I’m sure will stock them.

    @steve2006 hey Steve thanks so much for the “brake “ down its very simple on my head now and what to. it’s an easy job and I’m very confident. How ever Steve it says I need 2 new copper washers??? Will these come with my new calliper from Lexus or do I need to buy separately? thanks so much

    @steve2006 hey steve please can you explain further on filling up the new calliper with brake fluid please? also when i pinch the flexible hose will i need to pump the foot brake ? ive seen various people put a plastic bag over the brake fluid then put the lid back on in the engine bay. ive also ordered new brake pads a complete new caliper with carrier too.
  20. Johnlex
    Will I need to top up with brake fluid or need to bleed the brakes. Will it be a simple as pinch and swap ??? also is it normal for the inner brake pad to wear thinner like this ??? im guessing I need to buy new brake pads too
  21. Johnlex
    so i revisited this today, had another go but no chance. i have to bite the bullet and replace the caliper. can anybody tell me how to not fully bleed the brakes and just do it so i have to top up with some brake fluid as my next service in january the fluid gets changed.
  22. Johnlex
    Yes I done the fronts last year. they were rusted but managed to get them out. the rear I will order the pin bolt kit. can you reuse the calliper after the pin bolt ha snapped ? This is my worry. lexus said new calliper. Lexus brakes and discs are so way to do yourself why pay them. but I need this rear calliper bolt off. might buy some better or penetration oil as I only had wd40 and that didn’t do much
  23. Johnlex
    @ColinBarberWhat do you recommend ??
  24. Johnlex
    So today I went to attempt to remove my rear Calliper (passenger side ) top slider pin, no problem . bottom pin is rusted on so tight it’s like it’s welded. After 2 hours of soaking and hitting with various tools it still wouldn’t budge. can any body help me please on how I can remove be this pin. the movement I can feel is where the thread has slight unwinded giving the tiniest amount of play. also brake pad in that side has worn down nearly half. Do I need a complete new calliper and slider pin ??????
  25. Johnlex
    Thanks yes I’ve used this in the past but wanted more like 5% even 10% off as I know it’s possible .
