Hello all, new to the site and to Lexus/Toyota. I myself don’t own this car, it’s a buddy of mines. I’m doing his brakes because he let them sit and they seized and got all rusted. Put new reman calipers, rotors and e brake hardware on. The e brake line was completely built up with gunk and I’d say road salt. Cleaned everything off as much as I could but he might have to take it into a shop for that to be cleaned and fixed. E brake is still stuck. Bleed the brakes to a nice and firm feel got ready for the test drive and pedal goes to the floor and I roll back. Had to throw it into park to stop.

I’m going to go rebleed the brakes and if not that maybe the booster. Any ideas? Also sorry if the picture lines up weird.

What bleeding pattern did you use to bleed them?

I don't believe the right rear wheel is the furthest out that's why I ask, I think its drivers side rear wheel first, then the passenger rear wheel, then the right front wheel then then the left front. And you should be using a brake bleeder tool to do this is the best way but if you got someone pumping the brakes in the seat while you are bleeding that's kind of a hit and miss way of doing it. I haven't personally bled my own brakes but from I understand the order in which you bleed is not starting from the right rear side, its the drivers rear side.

It makes zero difference the order you bleed calipers. None. I've tried every combination they all work well. Two person method is best, bleeder open brake pedal slowly pressed. Hold pedal, bleeder closed. Repeat 30 times per wheel.

Going by the condition of the backing plate you could very well have rust issues on other components.

lol okay sounds good to me, though I personally would bleed them as the shop manual states in order, and personally I've had better results pulling the fluid out, rather than someone stomping on the the pedal countless times, but to each his own.

If you had a firm pedal at first, and it goes to the floor later, then there is something wrong. Air doesn't get in by it self
