In this video we are replacing rear brake pads and fixing stuck brake caliper guide pins. Same rear brakes are on some Lexus GS models.

How do you prevent the brake line from leaking after you remove the caliper? Thanks.
Simply Buy replacement calipers
Then service them once a year
Y los discos se dejan como están? Las pastillas que le montes se harán una desgracia también.
Look at that corrosion, definitely a cars used where the use salt to disperse snow.
Forgot to bleed the brake system before installing the wheel !
Forest time.
What was the year of that particular Lexus?
Typical issue on toyotas
As my Dad would ALWAYS do!!!!!! Spray down with penetrating oil !!!!!
Even a Lexus needs a torch.. the fire-spanner. The action at 3:42 however, repeated 1 million times, looses any bolt.
If Lexus-designers had pressed in stainless-steel bush, and used appropriate thick grease, and seal to keep that grease in place, the problem would not occur. Does that really make the car far to expensive?
Are there any "good" cars left? I do not think so.
Conclusion: Lexus is simply " a car ", like others. It does not distinguish it self technically from others.
(Alto-front-calipers have exactly the same problem.)
Sds chisel or air hammer makes this a complete non problem. Rebuild the pistons and getting them back in also sds drill makes it child's play. This car NEEDS caliper bebuild kits (ebay) slider dust boots, piston seals, grease, slider pin rubber o ring, DOT4 flush, They are very cheap to do.
Before removing the stuck caliper, watch what happens when you have someone else apply the brake pedal hard or constant pushing. The inner pad does 98% of the work and the caliper flex 30% away from its center. I don't know about the Federal, but Toyota car owners will be in trouble when the stationary pin snaps off at its threads. Companies should be stopped producing this caliper by a recall and go back to 2 removable pins fasteners. Camry is the best test subject, it is less beefy than Lexus.
what size is the rotor removal bolt?
Why don't clean and paint no profesional
I had to do that today. I heated the pin housing up and beat it out with a hammer. I'm replacing calipers anyway.
So I don't need to remove the caliper to change the brakes on the 250?
