This is a general idea of how most brakes jobs are performed. In this case its on a 2004 Lexus ES330 but you can apply these steps in many brake job applications.

The America that I am so in love with. Looks to be a glorious summer day, the playful laughs of children in the background. Thanks for the great instruction

Dude! I had never in my life done a brake job on a car. This was my first time doing one. Thank you so much for sharing with us non-mechanics a step by step process on how to do one. Very well done!

[@2cars1garage14]

You are very welcome! I'm glad it helped you!

[@jaridmorgan3503]

Very informative video with just about all the tips you could ever need on a brake job! Thanks for sharing

[@2cars1garage14]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@carlbogush4789]

Informative video, thanks! May want to mention when installing new rotor, be sure to line up the hole in the rotor with the hole to access the e-brake tensioner wheel (your install appeared to have it blocked).

just what I needed. Helped my and my family save a cpl hundred bux labor. With gas and food as high as it is, that really helps. Thanks for taking the time to help us po folk out. :)

Coming back after replacing 4 rotors plus brake pads. Pain in the ass because rear caliper was broken. Happily I'm 10 minutes from a junkyard and was easy to get one. Not that bad after getting the caliper replaced. Thanks for the video !

Great production value!

[@2cars1garage14]

Thank you!

[@manuellazarte5637]

awesome techniques

[@fengchen4151]

Thanks for the vedio. After removing the lower bolt, I encoutered the problem of the rear caliper with a rusty upper pin that I could not recenter it to fit for the new pads. Now I know how to take the caliper off and what to do with the pin.

[@jujusmith4527]

I just ran into this issue thank you bro 😎

[@2cars1garage14]

Any time!

[@usausausausausausausausausa]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@keanuhenry8465]

Thank you!

[@telefunkenyou47]

Thanks, Bro!

[@Ridikuluzt]

Great video how too!

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Without some kind of rust prevention UNDER the abutment clips, in the Salt Belt, this WILL eventually rust jack the pads and seize them in the bracket. (Number one reason for brakes sticking!)

[@eljeffe8806]

Drive along a quiet street or alley that has a block wall and roll down the window. The wall will reflect any strange sounds the car is making back at you.

i have an 06 lexus 330 i had two pistons in the caliper. that was difficult for me to compress. yours looked like one piston. thanks for video

[@2cars1garage14]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching

[@HouseCallAutoRepair]

Two pistons is FRONT. Rear caliper has ONE piston. If the car does NOT have parking brake SHOES, the calipers's piston cannot be PRESSED back in. It MUST be rotated back in!

[@bengesell]

What about chanin' those rear e-brake shoes. Hard to do? How do you do? Thanks agian.

[@isaiahadams5824]

I got one like that how do you take the caliper off while rusted

[@user-il6fm6jx4b]

My brakes squealing on my 05 Lexus es330 I’m about to change the pads and see if that solves the issue

[@Tamales21]

Hey do we have to change out the rear inside brake too? Does it get regular use or is it just for the e brake?

[@2cars1garage14]

Only if your emergency brake doesn't work, that's all that is for back there. Also if you don't use your emergency brake then you don't have to worry about servicing those brake shoes behind the rotor. Thank you for watching our video!
