Nice pics. Did it fix the issue for you?
I'm wondering how to tell whether the buzzing I hear behind the driver's side dash on startup (4 secs) and while braking (and a fairly mushy pedal) is due to this issue, or just normal?

Important: after installing the canister, I've used member Paige's tutorial on how to bleed the brake system. Personally I value this to be a very usefull contribution from a Lexus enthusiast.

Very usefull indeed!!
Im not sure how the set up works, but im assuming there it no chance of nitrogen escaping while screwing in the new canister right?
Also, while unscrewing the old one did any pressure escape or did you pump the brake to release the pressure as someone mentioned before?

Mine buzzes when I first start up and I can occasionally hear it while driving but brakes work well and not losing any fluid. Do I need to look to replace or be worried at all?

Yes, it sure did. Pressure in the system remains constant. No more pump buzzing every time I hit the brake.

Now you can unscrew the canister.
About the canister: this is just a reservoir and inside there is a large piston, above this piston is the (high!) pressure nitrogen. On a moleculaire level, nitrogen atoms seep past the piston seals ( these also wear out), so over time (years), the pressure gets to low.
How ever, I would personally never start drilling in the canister, because you don't know how much pressure is left, even after 10+ years.
