Really? no DIY for brake pad replacement?
I'm trying to replace my rear brake pads on my lexus gs430, I have no idea where to start. I tried taking the bolt off the back and it seems like its really stuck on there. My rear left has 3% pad life left, can someone walk me through this? I need to use my car this weekend

it's actually quite simple.
I did it last winter without any guide or nothing.
But i'll link the Pdf for you, bro.

Just search Brake Pad or something similiar, I don't remember which page it's on.

do I really need to use a torque wrench for the caliper bolt? This is my first time replacing breaks in a really long time.
I don't even remember how to bleed brakes

Thank you everyone for the support, it was simple after the first one, it was literally 3 pieces. The first piece in the way just popped off, then the W wire, then the pads just slipped out. No bolts were taken out. I think with my 20's i can remove the pads without taking the wheel off lol

If you do decide to bleed the system on your own, please do more research. The master cylinder with its integrated ABS units requires some attention (opening each channel and order of bleeding each axle).
Stock S16 chassis calipers are between the front and back. Front is sliding and rear is opposed piston.
good luck.
