LOOKS VERY SIMPLE.. THANKS FOR THE GREAT VID

If we can do it, you can do it.

While i love the video and appreciate y'all making it look easy. There are a couple of things I'd point out 1. You should torque the bolts to specifications, usually around 101 ft/lbs for mounting bolts and 25 ft/lbs for the caliper slider bolts (pivot up sequence bolts) 2. Pumping up brakes very important, but bedding new brakes in is important as well. Procedures on the internet, cause too long to write on a comment that's long enough as it is. Otherwise great video.

Fair points. As far as torque specs go, "put it on with the same force it took to remove" is usually good enough, unless we are building engines. If the bolts were not on tight enough, you would know it over time as you would feel a weird sensation in the pedal. If you want to break out the torque wrench, by all means you can, I just don't think its necessary. Bleeding brakes is going to be another video. Definitely an important part of maintaining your brakes, but not necessary with a rotor and pad change. Thanks for your comments and thanks for wathcing.

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers i see it as stopping is far more critical than going. But i referred to bedding not bleeding, which is the act of seating the pad to the rotor.

I like how Kelly can be seen hacking away at the wheel while Brandon films under the car! Great tutorial guys, it's downright disturbing to see people pay for a simple brake job! I have friends who own their shop and they make sure customers do not see how damn easy it is to do a brake job, they say fast easy repairs are their bread and butter. I like that you guys gave the Lexus some love, how about a follow up later on painting the calipers and wheel upgrade?

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Thank You ! 🙏🏼 Might sound coincidence but recently a dealer told me the rear shock absorbers had starting leaking. I’m not sure how long they’ll last but it’s now on the list of potential fixes on the near term. Videos for maintenance and services will be awesome 👏🏼 Like flushing coolants? Maybe replacing the front struts and rear shocks? Mine is 2013 and just crossed 100K miles, then I’m guessing issues might start to pop up? Xfingers it goes smooth 🙏🏼 I’m doing all in my hands to keep it in good shape 👍🏼 Cheers from Iowa 🍻 And wishing you continuous success in your channel and personal lives 🙏🏼 You guys are an awesome couple 💕

Looking forward to the rear brakes assembly process 🙌🏽

Good video and thanks for taking the time to make it. I'll be doing this on my CT in the next year or so. Do you lube the rails on the caliper that the pad clips slide along, or leave it metal on metal?

Thanks for this, helped a lot when changing the brake pads on the front axle. Is it the same for the rear brake? Took out the two 14mm bolts, but the caliper stayed stuck in place and was not going anywhere. Could it be the handbrake?

Lexus muy bueno and reliable. Akebono pads on my is250 and gs350 f sport

Love the video. I have one question though, when you took the old pads off the clip was on the top and when you put on the new ones the clip was on the bottom. Is there a reason for that? Is it something to do with using aftermarket rotors and pads?

Good catch! Yeah, we flipped them by accident, but it doesn't matter how you do it. It won't affect anything.

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Actually, it does affect something. Indeed, Kelly realized the ambiguity of the situation and asked a very good question; good for her. What it affects is how the wear indicators work, when the wear indicators first give off their low brake pad warning. You want the warning to occur when you are driving in reverse, not forward. Accordingly, always place the wear-indicators on the leading edge. So for front facing calipers, the leading edge, when moving forward, is at the top. For rear facing calipers, the leading edge is at the bottom. Also, if you only have one wear-indicator per side, it always goes on the inboard pad because, with a floating-caliper system, the inboard brake pads tend to wear out before the outboard pads.

What are the rotors for back brakes called. Also, is this the same process to install back brakes?? Awesome video!! Thx!!

The rear brakes are also rotors and pads. The process is similar, but different. We'll do a video in the fall. Thanks for watching.

Why not just jack it up from the jack spot in the front?

No. Pistons are mechanical. They move when you press the brake pedal via brake fluid. Nothing electric is happening. Thanks for watching.

Did u disconnect the battery or unplug the orange plug from the back?

I kept the battery disconnected and the key fob 30 feet away from the vehicle just in case. If your car turns on for any reason and that piston actuates, no way you are getting that caliper back onto the rotor.
