This is another video in my 120,000 mile maintenance series on my 2010 Lexus RX 350. In this video, I will explain the replacement of the brake pads and brake rotors for both the front and rear of the vehicle. I'd give this job a 3/5 in terms of the level of difficulty. I had some snags and will also share some tips to do this job as quickly and easily as possible.

I have a 2014 RX350 which everything should be the same. All your videos are really helpful for me since I am doing my own maintenance also. Keep it up, thank you!

I have been doing brakes for a while and that was an excellent video in how to do them the right way- don’t try to cut corners follow this man’s instructions and you won’t go wrong. I’ve put off getting a torque wrench cause they are pretty pricy but you talked me into it. Great stuff looking forward to what else you donin that RX. Thanks again!

You did a good job. 2 things I recommend you start doing though... #1 before you put your new rotors on put anti seize on the hub surface so the rotors come off easy next time. #2 under your stainless hardware that the pads slide on you need to remove the hardware and look for rust. I take my caliper brackets to the wire wheel on the bench grinder first then use a file to remove what it misses. Spray fluid film on the surface before reinstalling the old or new hardware (I prefer to replace the hardware). Great job bedding in the new brake pads! Most don’t know about that!

Thanks for the video! I suggest you should clean the sliding pin first before applying fresh lube, also apply anti seize on the axle before installing a new brake rotor so it is easy for removal in the futrue. :>

My 2013 RX has about 80k. I'll be installing aftermarket heavy-duty rotors and pads. I have the towing package and will be towing a pontoon boat.
Your video will definitely help me

Great video, I like how you correctly apply proper torque setting too. One thing though...that stuff you applied to your caliper sliding pins is strictly for the back plates of your pads and upper and lower clips. You should get that out of those sliding pins asap. Toyota has has some called "Toyota rubber grease". It's specifically made for the sliding pins, and will not eat away the rubber boots
