OP: Please add this link to the following thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...400h-diys.html

Hopefully next time it will be easier to find.

 

How long does the pads usually last under normal driving in a rx350 and rx400h?

 

OP probably did not search a bit...

Typing in DIY brakes showed:

I did the DIY back in 2008. 2004 to 2009 have the same hardware for brakes.

Nevertheless, good input and fresh new pictures!

 

Remember to apply correct torque for everything. Both under and over-torque could cause damage.

 

Reminds me I have to re-torque my rear calipers.

 

Great post, thank you for taking pics and sharing. Does anyone happen to have the part number for these front pads (2008 rx350)? Thanks in advance!

Add to your cart and you will see the part number.

 

In the FWIW department, when I did my brakes I spent the biggest part of a whole day...I did front and rear, rotors, pads, etc. A couple of weeks ago, I did the front pads and rotors for the son's Corolla - same design - and we had it back on the road within 3 hours, including a trip to the store for parts. Easy to do thanks to forums like this!

 

Thanks RX! Order submitted. Cheers!

 

Could someone please share the torque specifications for a 2009 RX350 19" wheels and the brake caliper mounting bolts and caliber brackets for front and rear brakes?

Maybe there is a pdf for this?

Thank you. I am new to this forum and we've had our 09 Lexus just about 3 years and it is just now getting to the point where I need to do maintenance other than fluids and filters.

Thanks I found this in another post too.

The rotors will glaze over, but that can be remedied by un-mounting them; there are two 8 mm threaded holes on the rotor to facilitate that - you basically "screw" them off after removing the hub nut. Once off, a wire brush will clean up the glaze. There is also a thin lip around the circumference that can be filed off. The standard thickness of the front rotor when new is 28 mm and 10 mm for the rear. The minimum thickness is 21 mm in front, and 8.5 mm for the rear. Below that requires a change; new rotors are about $135 each from Sewell including the Club Lexus discount. It's easily conceivable that rotors can last five years or more, depending on the severity of your drive profile, load characteristics, etc...
