cenwesi Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi, is there a DIY for rotor? I am in the process of changing my rotor. I figure before my rotors come in i look to see if there is any DIY out there. To my surprise, none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cenwesi Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 try lexls.com thanks, I just looked at that site and have printed material on rotor for the ls400 when i use to have one. Looking at the info, it looks like for the ls400 you had to bleed the brake line just to replace the rotor??? I really hope i don't have to do this for the ls430?

cenwesi Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 What car does not require a brake fluid issue with brakes? I am changing the rotor and not brake pads... i guess i should have rephrase the question a litter better. Do i need to change or drain the brake fluid to change rotors? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLexus94 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 No, you do not need to mess with fluid to change the rotors. Simply use a 10 buck spreader tool to open the gap between the 2 old pads and rotor each side to allow the new pads to fit. BTW-I would never change the rotors without changing the pads. $100 bucks max cost, including pads and rotors. Make them match, like Raybestos rotors with Raybestos pads, and you'll have a heavenly ride. My 2 cars, an MX-5 turbo and my 94LS have been perfect since I changed them out. I love ceramics, too, they may not last as long, but they sure are quiet. One time, I put new rotors on old OEM pads, and it sounded like a city bus. Best of luck.
