My LX has had the dreaded brake pulsation since I bought it 10k miles ago. I was about to order some new rotors and pads for it but wanted to make sure the installation is straight forward and that odd tools are not needed. On all my other vehicles I just pull the wheel, pull the caliper and the rotor falls off. Put everything back together, apply some of that grease on the back of the new pad, Torque everything down, and hit the road to break in the pads.
Can anyone here comment on the replacement procedure? Can anyone tell me the torque specs on the caliper bolts?
Secondly, I was planning to only replace the front rotors to see if that corrects the problem. Any thoughts on that idea? If I do the rear end as well, is there anything special I need to know about the e-brake?
Thanks for any and all info on this job!
How To Remove Rotors On 2000 Lx470?
in 98 - 07 Lexus LX470

I went to replace the front pads/rotors on my LX tonight and found that I could not get the rotors off. On my LX there are five bolts installed from the rear of the rotor that hold it to a spacer with 5 lugs, which the wheel bolts to. The outer bearing hub for the wheel also appears to be part of this spacer assmebly. I tried everything but removing the bearing grease cap on the outside, where I assume I would find a shaft nut holding on the outer wheel bearing. I didn't want to venture in there without a service manual. That also seems a little complex for a rotor pull.
So, can anyone tell me what the basic procedure is to replace the front rotors?
Thanks!
