Hello, I am looking for both front and back brake caliper torque specs for a 2010 RX 350.
I am looking to replace rotors and pads myself.
Could somebody share it please?
Many thanks in advance

It should be in the brake pad threads in this link to the Toyotanation Highlander forum as it is the mechanical twin of the RX350.

It has a great photo demonstration on replacing the pads and links to a video.

I did mine a few months ago and think the caliper to hub bolts you have to remove to get the rotor off were 80 pounds. The floating caliper bolts you remove to get the pads out I think were around 25 pounds, but I never torque those and just go by feel.

Thanks for your reply.
I will take a look at the Highlander forum to see if I can find a clue.

Front disc brake cylinder mounting to steering knuckle 77 foot pounds. Front disc brake cylinder assembly to the front disc brake cylinder mounting, 25 foot pounds. Front disc brake bleeder plug is 73 INCH pounds. Front flex hose to front disc brake cylinder assembly 22 foot pounds. Front speed sensor to steering knuckle 71 INCH pounds.

Rear disc brake cylinder mounting to rear axle carrier 58 foot pounds . rear disc brake cylinder assembly to rear disc brake cylinder mounting 20 foot pounds . rear flexible hose to rear disc brake cylinder Assembly 22 foot pounds . Rear disc brake bleeder plug 8 foot pounds.

The above is for a 2010 Rx350

This is great!
Thanks so much for sharing this information with the community!

So I changed already the two front ones yesterday. I assumed that "cylinder" is "caliper" in these instructions. For the bolts that mount the caliper to the steering knuckle, I set the torque wrench to 77ft/lb. But I felt I reached the tightening limit before the 77 ft/lb and did not want to over tighten. I am wondering if this was indeed 77 ft/lb or am I being extra cautious here? . The 25ft/lb spec was OK.

Then why use a torque wrench if you are not going to rely on it to tighten critical bolts?
Do you have a click or bar torque wrench. I prefer click and just set it and pull until it clicks. Much better than trying to watch the pointer on a scale while tightening.
On these bolts at 77 pounds going 5 pounds over will not make any difference. It is the same torque as the wheels and I usually just do those at 80, which is still within the 4% margin of error and easier to read on my wrench.

I do have a click one. It just felt it wouldn't go any more. If the 77ft/lb is really the spec for those bolts I must be very close to it. I also put blue thread lock (the non permanent one). I will monitor the car over the next few days and re-visit if something doesn't feel right.
Thanks.

Pull harder.

Did the rear ones today. The torque specs for those were fine.

Is this the same for a 2014 RX?
