Watched video, ordered parts from 1AAuto, replaced front brakes the following weekend! Great video. I already had an old caliper press (must be 30 years old). That was the only odd tool I needed. Thanks!1
These videos are great. I have never worked on a car, I've got no knowledge or experience of any kind. I've always wanted a gs300 and i'm currently looking at buying one and to do the work myself and to learn on a car I'd love. So thank you for these videos. Trying to learn and prepare as much as possible before I finally get to play around with a gs. Also, would it be a good idea to completely brush down the brakes and calipers and spray them with some heat resistant paint? I'm looking at almost refurbishing whatever I'll be working on. Are there anything/any problems to watch when doing this?
My Gs 400 sounds like a chef is sharpening a knife when I drive without pressing the brakes. It's been doing this for years and it's driving me NUTS. Can you please help me out I'm going crazy, owned this car 11 years I swear it's always done it.
No it goes back up to the main tank where u fill it from so open that cap while pushing the caliper back all the air will go out threw the top and no air will be able to come in to the lines

a total and blatant lie about having a bleeder open. the screws could be rusty and you break it off for something that's way over the top. also most diy jobs are going to lead to disaster since they will never know if the caliper is bad or not by opening the bleeder. you also introduce air into the system if you don't have fluid in the hose connected to the bleeder.
I’m a DIY guy. I have pretty good mechanical skills. I believe and it’s been my experience that “most DIY jobs” do not lead to disaster. When the job is too much for me, I let a qualified pro handle it. I have had several pros do hatchet jobs on my vehicles as well. So, if you have the tools and confidence to take on a DIY job, go for it. If not, go to a trusted pro.

from an owner, the gs300 is a beautiful car
Second this^
Very informative and easy to follow step by step disassembly and reassembly. Highly Recommend...
Unbelievably helpful. Whatever work it took to produce this video was totally worth it because it put my trust in your products. Thanks.

thank you for nice video helped alot for fixing my gs brakes
Thanks a lot, great tutorial!
What if you don’t have a hose to catch the fluid? Drain pan I’m guessing?
SAFETY FIRST!
Gotta do this tomorrow
Thank you, this will help a lot.
+mcatun Thank you for your feedback!
How important is the rubber bushing on the one caliper pin? Mine is missing like this one.
Will the caliper bracket be agaisnt the rotor?
Pretty helpful info even though I have a 1996 Lexus GS300, thanks! Was wondering about the brake clip orientation and for the pad with the squealer.
Wait you won't bleed your caliper after that???
I personally don't open the bleeder screw unless I'm bleeding the brakes, this guy is good, but I've been working on cars longer

On one side my caliper is still moving after I tighten everything down. Any suggestions?
Why did the suspension arm come loose?
Thanks
Yeah homi!👌😎
Great
36:20
Damn I would of used that motor brush to fully clean that caliper bracket
Does anybody know why he had to twist that first part to get the fluid leaking ??
give it a couple bonks
