I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
I'm curious because I'll be attempting this over the weekend Do I have to bleed the brakes if all I'm replacing is the rotors and brake pads?
No bleeding is needed, unless you open brake line or piston from caliper gets pushed out to far out
Rotor removal tip: buy a M8 x 1.25 size bolt and screw it into one of the threaded holes near the center of the soon-to-be-old rotor to separate it from the hub. it's **way** easier than trying to bang and hammer a rotor off that's rusted and stuck to the hub...
Thank you for the tips brother. Just bought a very nice 2007 ES350 im going to do the brakes front and back tomorrow 👍
Congratulations. I still have my Lexus and I am amazed how nice it rides being 12 years old
Just replaced the rear and front brakes on my 2007 ES350. According to my local repair shop, my front brakes were unsafe with less than 1mm of braking material. Well, turns out they were still good with approximately 5mm of material left and the rotors needed only a good cleaning. I changed everything anyway. Yes, I saved lots of money by doing this myself but more importantly I learned never to trust my 'trustworthy' repair shop again. Many thanks.
Lexus dealership said the same thing about my wife car front brakes and rotors. I'm changing them now and brakes have about 65 percent life left and the rotors don't even have a slightest lip. Smh
Well I have to retract this reply, the storm only allowed me to complete the passenger side the other day. Last Night I replaced the drivers side and seen one of the Caliper pins were frozen causing one of the brake pads to look warped so yes, if one side needs to be changed then both do so the dealership was correct. I purchased it during the pandemic and my wife hadn't put a lot of miles on it, but I guess I gotta start taking vehicles apart when I purchase them cause some shops never grease the pins and that'll lead to problems.
So many people don’t grease those pins. I find that the only way to get it done is to do it yourself. Thank you for showing the importance of it.
You are welcome
Same as a camry/toyota Avalon. Very simple no need to go to dealership or mechanic
brake job on Lexus wearing dress shirt. not a speck of grease by the end, like a BOSS! excellent job explaining/ showing everything. thank you.
thank you for watching and subscribing.
Great video thanks.
Thank you for the suggestion for using channel locks to grab onto the inner bolt when it slips. I have faced this same problem recently and had some difficulty resolving!
Can you pump the brake without the clamp?
What do you mean?
This guy sounds hispanic, arabic, and slavic at the same time 😂 good video man thanks :)
I put my brakes new front without the wire clip that pushes out. Now my brakes are making crazy noise
My car is a es350 Lexus
Thank you
Very nice car
8mm bolt
what did you spend total time to replace, please
It depends on the area where you live
You can spend from half to 4 hours depending on quality of work you want to get and how much rust it has
@repairvehicle- You used Toyota grease to lubricate the pins. which grease did u use to lubricate the sides of the brake pads was it the same grease or other high temp grease?
Other high temperatures grease
@@repairvehicle thanks for your response. Can I use any high temp or does it have to be brake specific. Can u share the name what u used.
You can use any high temperatures grease on the side of the pads. I don't remember what I was using in the video. I need to watch the video again to refresh my memory.
can the top and bottom pins be lubricated without taking the caliper off the wheel?
Wheel must come off. Caliper can be lifted up or down to get the pin out to lubricate.
Best way to do front brakes is to buy rotors, pads, and calipers for a Toyota Highlander and do that. Larger diameter rotors, twin-piston calipers, and they fit up perfectly on a ES350. Braking power is substantially better.
Thank you - very helpful, I just replaced front and back breaks in my driveway - took about an hour.
You are welcome
*brakes
I did not know that driveways have brakes😂
Hello, I'm confused about what tool to use. If I just want to remove the caliper, do I need 14mm or 17mm socket? I think both sizes are mentioned in the video.
Watch video again please
@@repairvehicle So if I just want pad replacement, 14mm should be good. And If I need to remove the caliper assembly, than I need 17mm. Is that right?
Yes
@@aannddyychang6162
14mm for the caliper bolts
17mm for the caliper bracket bolts.
Thanks so much for the super clear and precise video, definitely worth subscribing to your channel.
I used to remove the entire caliper to do front pads 😬. Always working the hard way. Thanks again .
You are welcome. What do you drive?
Well done and informative, thanks for posting this!
Thank you so much you were the most straight forward and went through every step I needed to know how the pins went back on the make the calipers release after braking and you showed me. Thanks again for a greet video my friend
You are welcome!
I just came across this vid, Will this work for 2016 Lexus ES 350
Yes
With regard to brake pads which are best for 2012 ES350? synthetic, ceramic, organic?
Oem grade material
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics.
60,000 miles and still going strong.
Been using them for 10+ years.
I have a 2012 ES so I guess mine would be the same.
Yes.
It is :)
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It is very helpful.
What is the minimum size c clamp needed? Your clamp looks too big. Would size 7 or 8 inch c clamp be enough? Thanks
I have Size 6 and 8 and both work on my cars.
@@repairvehicle thanks. I have a 2018 Rav4 FWD XLE that has a sealed transmission but instead of a trans dip stick it has a thin black tube. Do you know what that is for.
Thin black tube is a breather tube, allows for transmission to exhaust air when fluid expands.
@@repairvehicle thanks
Np
Great explanation, thanks.
Thanks
What issues might arise if you get the grease on the brake pad surface or rotors?
You just going to have hard time stopping car until all the grease burns off due to heat and friction.
@@repairvehicle Thanks for the timely answer! One more question, do you need to apply the C-clamp to the caliper in order to push that piston in? Should you take the cap off of the brake fluid before doing that?
Clamp applied to the caliper in the middle, avoid brake line bolt. Do not remove cap, moisture from air will enter brake fluid.
@@repairvehicle Thanks a lot, man.
No problem
Nice job. I have replaced my wifes brakes several times, but have been doing it the hard way..haha. This confirms what I have thought would be the simplest solution.
Thank you. Consider subscribing.
PS- I followed the link to the brake pads you suggested and it says they dont fit my wifes 2007 ES 350..just some info for you
Thank you, I will double check.
Thank you sir for the time you took to make this video. I even have a 2011 ES350
damon323, you are welcome. I have more videos on my channel for es350.
Great video, thank you!! Quick question...is the caliper sliding pins that you greased the same orientation on both sides? In other words, is the smaller pin with the rubber ring go on bottom on the left and right side?
I don't think it matters, however I don't remember unless I watch my own video to refresh my memory
You grease both pins same way.
repairvehicle Thank you very much, really appreciate the fast reply!!
Please subscribe and share my video with others. thank you.
thank you nice video!
My rotors are seized on the hub. How do I loosen the rotor to remove it?
Craig Seymour, use a bolt like I show in my video to break rotor loose or spray wd40 and hammer it on the rotor. Make sure you hit the rotor on the side.
Good tip is every year get some Brake cleaner spray and give the front discs and pads incl rear brakes a good spray,you'll be surprised the difference it'll make.Do give the wheel nuts and metals surfaces a wipe with Copper grease while the wheels are off,it don't take that long.Look after your car and it'll look after you.
thank you, your video was very helpful....
