Part two of four - Removing rotors and reassembly Replacing front brake pads on 2007 Lexus ES 350, but this video covers many other models, both older and newer as well.
I just laughed my butt off watching you trying to get that pad in! Because I just did my front pads. And I struggled as much as you trying to set the pads. Glad I'm not the only one. They were a bitch.
I just guessing here, but I think it is 8 x 1.25. I just going by memory here, so don't shoot me if I'm wrong. More specifically, that is a metric bolt with 8 millimeter diameter and a thread pitch of 1.25 threads per millimeter. If you don't have a bolt like that on hand right now, and you don't want to go to the store, IF YOU'RE LUCKY, you might be able to find one on your car that you can use temporarily to do this job. Look under the hood for any small bolts that attach items to the engine, remove a bolt that looks close to the right size, check to see if it is indeed, the right size, do the job, and replace it where you found it when you're done. Thanks for watching, I hope I helped you out and maybe even saved you a trip to the store. Most all, if you didn't know about it already, I hope you remember this "rob Peter to pay Paul" trick. It might really get you out of a jam someday. I know it saved me countless times.
Thank you so much!! I will be doing this job this weekend and I am confident I will find a bolt in the engine compartment as you suggested.. Great Idea!! Thank you again!
@@abadroman5857 I look at the tutorial and don't pay attention to the mechanic's Hazzard ethics. If I want to stick a pick in my eye it's my business,everyone knows it's not a smart decision. I am here to learn and not worried about O.S.H.A.To each his own.Amen Bro
