IS220d rear brake callipers queries

[zDave]

Hi all

I'm going to use this period of enforced isolation to replace my rear disc and pads on my is220d.  

I usually don't have the time for it myself, and get a local garage to do it for me, but the close down means that's not happening any time soon.  

last time they looked at the rears, the pad guide pins were stuck.  what are teh chances that I'l screw up the callipers trying to hammer these bad boys out?  I don't know if its worth bagging a couple of replacements just in case.  But wow these are either expensive or on a long lead time.  Also any ideas on part numbers?  I found a few; but i would have thought all were compatible.

 

The other thing is, is it worth changing what look like calliper slide pins?

 

any advice gratefully received

Dave

I had mine from there but they are based in Germany and it takes a week to get here https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/guide-sleeve-kit-brake-caliper-15092/lexus/is/is-ii-gse2-ale2-use2/19067-220d-ale20

Always change the pin and sliders! Saves you plan later! Lol
