You don't need a a Lexus specific guide, its the same for every vehicle.

I suggest purchasing a Hayes, or Chilton's repair manual. You can order one at most automotive part stores. They are written for entry level mechanics that have the aptitude, but not the experience. I personally found them very helpful when I was starting out.

there is a service manual pdf posted here on this forum. its got the diagram for the brakes. the hardest part is removing the rotor as it is most likely rusted and "glued" in place at this point. i used a hummer and a piece of wood (held against rotor) to bang on the rotor from the back. just bang on it and rotate, dont try to go too fast, take your time, there is lots of rust in there. took me about 10-15min to get it off. otherwise this is an easy job. btw, check out local library. my local public library has haynes manuals for a lot of cars!!!
