IS200 / IS300 Rear Brake Pad Disc Change

Maybe applicable to other models

Thanks a lot, this helped so much. I really forgot about the handbrake, I was getting very frustrated and hit the old disc quite a lot with a hammer, trying to get it off like that. Really hope I didn't damage anything, worrying now =/

You sir are a god!!!! I started to do mine and hit a few snags. Like that hidden handbrake adjuster. What a bugger it is. It could have been better designed. Anyway a quick check on here and it all made sense when i saw your post.

Then i gave the car a drive and heard a weird squealing noise. Another check on here and saw you mentioned the backing plate lip. Thats exactly what it was. I could see the wear that had happened after i pulled everything apart again. I dont have an angle grinder but used a file. The noise is still there but i do motorway driving and the 60 miles i'll do tomorrow should get rid of it. Metal on metal should wear that tiny lip down within no time at 70mph.

A big thanks again.
