The M8x1.25 bolt made removing the rotors super-easy. Thanks for that tip!

Hey Viktor I just wanted to thank you for the videos you make. They are extremely informative and thorough and have helped me maintain my car without breaking the bank!

Always a Great Job Viktor 👍😁 From The Factory Trained Specialist

I’m so glad your channel is back!!

Welcome back!

[@77felixthecat]

Great work! You explained everything perfectly so that a numb skull like me can do that job myself.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

You can do it!

[@backlineguy]

Thanks Viktor, another great video. This will be my next project after I get the front rotors and pads replaced. You do good work!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Awesome, thanks!

[@kriskaitson4370]

Victor! Hope all is well. What happened to all of your other Lexus videos? Without any doubt they were THE best on the internet. I’m praying they will be back. If not on KZbin, may I suggest making them available for download from your own website for $$$. I’m sure many would agree it would be well worth it. (Was hoping to take a look again as a refresher, at the trans fluid change procedure on my ‘18 RX350L). Nothing else online even comes close. Take care.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thank you so much for the support! The old channel got shut down, this will be the new one, currently working on bringing the videos back.

[@brianllarinas650]

Victor when you pump the brakes several times at the end of the video is the brake reservoir cover back on?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@brianllarinas650 it doesn’t matter because the reservoir cap has a vent built into it

[@donaldcrockett2757]

Nice video Vic! My 2010 Lexus RX450H need the same plus Brake dust shields. Please make a video shows how to remove and replace the Brake dust covers. Thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Will do if I get a chance, thanks!

Thanks Viktor for great video 🙏🌹👏

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thanks for watching!

[@backlineguy]

Hi Viktor...any thoughts on opening the bleeder valve to prevent the fluid from being forced back into the brake system when compressing the caliper piston?...does that do any harm to the ABS at all? Excellent videos...I just bought a 2010 RX 350, you are a tremendously knowledgeable technician to be able to watch!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thanks 😊 Yes, you could open the bleeder when compressing the piston to get rid of the fluid that way instead of forcing it back up. Neither method would cause any damage to the ABS actuator.

[@tommyl3707]

The tech in another video opened the bleeder valve did that but I am hesitant as I am scared to let air into the system and dont know how to bleed air out of the system.

[@FJVISA]

You had great videos on the 2016-22..l hope you can post those soon

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Working on it!

Thanks for the video. It is very helpful. If possible could you do a video showing replacing the rear parking brake shoes on a 2015 Lexus RX350. Thanks again.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Great suggestion!

[@johnp-k8h]

great video, thank you. For the Rx450h (2014) .. and good to know I can do this without the Techstream. One question though ... should I disconnect the 12v before starting the procedure on the rears, to stop the pump ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I’ve personally never disconnected the battery to replace brakes on this model.

@@ahmedmattoo2554 hi, all the links are in the description below the video

[@vkrish7]

Hi Viktor, Is there a very basic video available that shows how to first put the car up in a garage to do this work? Looks daunting and overhwleming to a total novice like myself.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I show where to lift a 2016-2022 RX to do the brake job in the video below, yours will be identical: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH2naHljnMmii6c

[@hayer444]

Hi Viktor, should I take the cap off from brake fluid container in engine compartment when compressing the caliber piston or I can leave the cap on and just press it? Where will extra fluid go

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

If the reservoir is pretty full, you should extract some fluid before compressing the piston, otherwise the fluid will overflow. I believe I mentioned that in the video. Afterwards, you can leave the cap on or take it off, there is a vent in the cap that will allow air to escape.

[@felicitogianan4182]

Hi Viktor! I have a 2013 RX 350 and I took to a mechanic to replace the rear shocks. After the fix, I started hearing a noise especially when the speed is between 15 to 25 MPH. I went back to the mechanic to have it fixed and they tried but no luck, they gave up. Before I went to the mechanic, I watched your video from your old channel and if I remember it right, you did put a jack on one of the shocks. I was not sure you did that. Do you that will help my Issue. Let me Know. Thanks!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I don’t think that not compressing the shock before tightening it will cause a noise. I’ve seen guys do it all the time and it never caused any issues other than the bushing potentially wearing out quicker.

[@Roy2584]

exactly what I need. By the way, I’m trying to replace the thermostat for a 2010 RX350, but not sure about the thermostat housing’s bolts torque spec. Could you please help, Viktor!?

[@tpp4007]

Did you ever replace the engine coolant pipe? He made a video about it before it got deleted. It’s rubber but it’s suppose to be metal now. I replaced mine. There are video tutorials about it. It causes catastrophic engine failure if it’s not replaced.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, the thermostat housing nut torque spec is 7 ft-lbs.
