    I haven't warped a rotor in over a decade, even with heavy duty use. Buy quality parts & USE A TORQUE WRENCH on your lugs EVERY TIME! If its going in the shop, insist they torque lugs to spec before they even begin. Oh & dont forget to "rev up" (pump) your brakes before you drive away after a brake job so you don't warp your car. Like this comment so more people hopefully see it.

    Great video Scotty. As usual very well explained and educational. Your better off with a magnetic dial indicator. But you and most people reading this already know this. One other thing. If the Vehicle is equipped with rear drums . Even if you just installed new drums and shoes. If the star wheel adjuster isn't adjusted properly. When you apply the brakes, the pedal will pulsate. It's very easily missed. This is the same procedure for emergency parking brake shoes for vehicles that use rear disc with the parking brakes shoes located on the inside of the rotor . And I have to mention. I love your take on Lexus. New vehicles in general have gone down hill. I'm a proud owner of a 2003 Lexus GS 300 and it's an amazing luxury vehicle. Little maintenance will take you a long way. Also the GS 400 and 430 are also gems. These were almost 80k back in the day. Now you can find one under 200,000klm for under 7k. I could go on and on about these. Your getting a lot for your money.

And that is clean and relube the caliper slides. You could argue that it doesn't need done everytime, it's just preventative maintenance and a quick step above and beyond what 99 percent of mechanics do! Lol I can't tell you how many time I talk to people who got their brakes done and I meet them and they find out I do brakes and they always say they have a grinding and 9 times out of 10 it's caliper slides.

    Good video. Only thing missing is that before compressing the caliber you need to open the brake fluid reservoir to allow for back pressure. It makes pressing it a lot easier when you aren't fighting the pressure. Also lubricate the caliber slider pin since it's out now, a lot of rotor damage happen when the pins aren't sliding properly and wearing the rotor unevenly.

    ClusterHeadSurvivor Many times I have seen rust under or behind the rubber slider sleeves. When the rubber is in place, it is being squashed by the rust bubbles, thus squeezing the pin while its inside the rubber sleeve. This will cause uneven resistance between the top pin and bottom pin which will cause a shutter.

    Just a couple of pointers. One sometimes it isn’t necessary to replace rotors when they can be spun with a lathe so long as it does not exceed or meet its minimum thickness, however still highly recommend replacing brake pads. Next if your going to replace the brake pads when you plan on depressing the pistons inwards it’s a good idea to remove the brake reservoir filler cap as it can make pushing the pistons in a lot easier and minimizes the chance of damaging the master brake cylinder. Just my thoughts.

    It's Rotor time ! I used drilled and slotted replacement rotors, works great and last long time. Dad told me to take the top off the break master cylinder too because when you're pressing those calipers back in break fluid will be going back into the reservoir and depending how long since the last time you messed with the break system you may have some over flow.

    I also found it very helpful to grind down the surface of the wheel hub before the new brake disc comes on. Otherwise it could be that rust / dirt will lead to the same unbalance when the disc is heated. The surface of the wheel hub can be cleaned with a wire brush or fine sand paper to remove any dirt that may have formed.

    Scotty, before pressing the pistons back in make sure the brake reservoir is not topped off or you will make a mess. What I do is top the reservoir with the proper brake fluid put a hose on the caliper bleed screw and into a catch can. I then will press the pistons back in when the bleed screw is opened. Make sure to close bleed screw right away when the pistons are completely retracted as not to introduce air in the brake line. By using this method you purge the old fluid out of the caliper, you then top off the brake reservoir, voila! I am sure you do this yourself but have to keep these informative videos as short as possible.

    I clean the piston before pushing it in, and I open the bleeder screw when pushing the piston back in - after isn't now the best time to change out that hygroscopic brake fluid that's been in there for the life of a set of brakes? (That's many years and about 40,000 miles).

    One of the big reasons why rotors warp is overtorquing the lug nuts and/or torquing them unevenly. Always use a correctly set torque wrench when putting on your lug nuts, and always re-torque the nuts if you ever have your car serviced/inspected by a mechanic and wheels had to be removed.

    Yes, release the brake pedal just before hitting a bump. It reduces stress on the front suspension and the rear. Some HF tools are durable. I have two 1/2" air impact wrenches that are probably 25 years old. I don't use them that often but they still work. I also buy impact sockets there.

Depending on what needs to be replaced it could get expensive. Many owners just change out the brake pads if there is no vibration when braking. If the rotors need replacing it will cost a lot more.
