Default Another DIY for Rear Brake Pad/Rotor Replacement
I had some issues when I replaced the rotors on our 2004 Lexus RX330 AWD, so I put together a short DIY to save others from some potential pain. I know there are quite a few out there, so this is just another DIY. I typically do my own oil changes, air filters, etc; this was the first time doing brakes.

Good job.
How much did the Mobile tech charge you for that mis-step? Did you not know about the star before you tried to force the hub off?

He charged $60 ... I knew about it, I just could not get it figured out. He was >mechanically inclined than I.

I think the star gear is at the 6 o’clock position and you just have to turn the hub till the access hole is there.
