To answer your question, see my Post #80 in this thread. I included the info I found when I changed brakes on my Japan built 2018 RX350.

shown are from June of 2021 and out of date. The front brake parts are the same
for Japan or Canadian built models.
I spoke with a dealer parts counter rep and got the actual part numbers needed
for the brake job. Here is the list of official Lexus parts :
2018 RX350 with AWD and "J" as the first letter of VIN
Rear Pads 04466-48160 $71.06
Rear Pad Shims 04946-48130 $40.69
Rear Pad H/W Kit 04948-48110 $26.23
Rear Rotor 4 1431-48090 $120.00
Crossing these numbers over to aftermarket parts can be difficult. I used
Rock Auto and entered the Lexus part numbers and came up with the following :
Raybestos Rotor 982051FZN $36.89
Raybestos Pads w/HW kit EHT1879H $17.43
Why not just put the car on N and turn the car off and do the break pad change? So it will not activate the E-Break.
I didn't try yet but logically it should work. I still haven't break pad changed first time so it will be good to know.

Trying to disassemble them will ruin the system.
OK So, I found this video so it does not need the any diagnostics tool. You just remove the one side connector for parking break and it will completely retract the other connected side.
