ArmyofOne Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 about drum in disc types?? i have never done a drum-in-disc, just drums or disc (the last time i did drums was on my contour, and it was a 7.5 hr job...dont ask!). mine really need done, and i cant afford to have somebody do them for me ATM. i will pick up a gen II camry Haines manual at the end of the week...but i dont think my brakes are gonna last that long. first they were squealing, now i am seeing increased stopping distances...next think you know, they will be grinding...

SKperformance Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 You are breaking new gound for this fourm and an ES250 as no one seems to be on here who works on the first gens. I would read the write up i made in the tutorial section to replace brakes on later ES's it may be the same or atleast very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have changed the rear disk brakes on my ES250 it is a very very simple task...just make sure you don't forget to remove the clips from your old brake pads and put them on the new pads...
