2007 GS 350 Brake problem
Hey club lexus,
I'm new to Club Lexus and its my first post ever on a forum! I apparently can't find the brake bleeder screw on my 2007 GS350 calipers! Now my GS is standing in the drive way with air in the brake system and it doesnt even work, because i just removed the brake lines from the calipers, with out using the soda bottle method... Also the mechanic at Lexus dealership told me that the rear calipers are seized! I would like some help and advice! Also its going into my dads friends shop tomorrow....

Wait and see what the mechanic says...hopefully he is good...but if you don't bleed the system right you can cause havoc on it. Good Luck.

You have to be careful working on the brake systems of these new EBD type cars....i know that the soda bottle method isn't the best way to go on these cars but eh...

Bro, your very next move should be to head to your local parts house and get four lug nuts that don't require that POS wheel lock that does nothing to prevent theft anyhow. It's a true hassle to deal with and those locks protect nothing. I good thief will have those off in 10-15 seconds per wheel so why go through the grief of the key getting all messed up over time. Disconnect the battery before you tackle the brake job or you will be pissed at the Christmas tree on your dashboard from those codes when you are all done.

Or possibly a failing master cylinder...haven't heard of one failing but it's possible...

DOT 3 or higher. Doesn't have to be Toyota fluid. You're better off buying new or already remanned calipers
