Mr. Viktor, thank you for the most descriptive video. I was always afraid to take brake clips off and get on after cleaning. Now I know. A lot of other things in video that were helpful. If you rotors are not warped can you get way with not replacing them.

@Viktor_G_Automotive

Thanks! The rotors do not need to be replaced if they are above minimum thickness, but I would recommend to always machine then on the brake lathe to straighten them and let the new pads wear in properly.

Great Video; you mentioned you Turned the Rotors. How much need to get turned or what’s max size or thickness of Rotor need ? Beyond what thickness size left you can not turn and need to discard to buy new ones ? Minimum specification size will help.

@Viktor_G_Automotive

Hi, new rotor thickness is 28 mm. Minimum thickness is 25 mm. How much you need to machine off the rotor will depend on how warped or grooved it is. Usually they can be machined twice before they reach minimum thickness, but that will depend on your driving style and the type of pads you use (aftermarket ones often wear the rotor down significantly more than the OEM pads do).

Great video Victor, I just called two lexus dealerships in my area for front rotors on my "17 Rx 350 they both said the part # was 43512-F6010. Have they changed from using part # 43512-0E040?

@Viktor_G_Automotive

Hi, either one will work. Lexus/Toyota often has several interchangeable part numbers, depending on whether the vehicle was manufactured in Japan, Canada, USA etc.

Thank you for the videos im learning a lot. I ordered front pads for my NX300 from the dealer and noticed one pad on each set is marked with a purple dot. Does it mean that marked pad goes inside?

@Viktor_G_Automotive

8 ай бұрын

I don’t remember the NX front pads being marked or being different side to side, but just compare them to the old ones you are taking out to be sure.

Nice video. Did you end up having to turn the front wheels to access those bolts that hold the caliper bracket?

To do it properly you would need to use a scan tool.

I used your other video about a year ago and the video was amazing. (I did brake pads and rotors) I slowly started getting front end shake while braking that got worse and worse. Luckily the parts were under warranty so I got new pads and rotors installed this weekend. What would be the cause of the rotor warping that happened to me. The rotors are good quality and the pads are euro spec

@Viktor_G_Automotive

8 ай бұрын

You probably won't like my answer, but if this vehicle came to me for diagnosis, I would recommend to start by replacing the rotors, pads and shims with factory parts. I understand that you feel the parts are of good quality, but from my perspective, it is not possible to be sure of what is causing the issue when dealing with aftermarket parts. Often the warp is caused by either improper pads/rotors or driving habits such as overloading or towing with the vehicle, especially in hilly/mountainous terrain.

Would this be the same procedure for a 2019 UX200 F-Sport?

Hi there Viktor, Thanks so much for the instructional video again! I'm getting ready to replace the front brakes on my 2017 RX 350. Should I apply any grease or anti seize compound to the wheel hub before putting on the new rotor?

Hello Victor, if the boot is merely slightly damaged with a small amount of grease, is it feasible to replace just the boot and not the CV joint? Is this even advisable?

@Viktor_G_Automotive

3 ай бұрын

Yes, definitely possible to replace just the boot and install new grease. However, in practice, most dealerships or DIYers would generally replace the complete axle. It is a bit of extra work to take it all apart and also very messy :)
