New brake calliper but what is this for ???
Johnlex replied to Johnlex's topic in Brakes & Suspension
Thanks - I was also told to buy b 2 copper m10 crush washers too ?? but this is what i need. 😂 @Beamish
-
I’ve got a new rear calliper but in the box was this ??? Please see picture and tell me where and what it does please. Thanks
-
@steve2006 you can see they are very rusty and corroded from the picture so I’m thinking to change
-
@steve2006 hey Steve as I’m changing the pads rear passenger calliper pin bolts on drivers side car has done 100k miles should I check discs as well ???????
-
I’m just replacing the calliper and the carrier it’s well and truly seized. I’ve also order new pins for the other side just to replace and a tube of rubber grease. Waiting for parts the. Will do all myself.
-
@steve2006 intend to buy mainly off eBay oat Lexus parts direct as after market stuff doesn’t play ball or you can’t get it. Lexus are a pain for that I’ve got a huge service in January at Lexus 120k for the extended warranty I still have
-
@steve2006 ok cool I will have a look I’ve also got a brake and clutch centre on the corner of my road which I’m sure will stock them.
-
@steve2006 hey Steve thanks so much for the “brake “ down its very simple on my head now and what to. it’s an easy job and I’m very confident. How ever Steve it says I need 2 new copper washers??? Will these come with my new calliper from Lexus or do I need to buy separately? thanks so much
-
@steve2006 hey steve please can you explain further on filling up the new calliper with brake fluid please? also when i pinch the flexible hose will i need to pump the foot brake ? ive seen various people put a plastic bag over the brake fluid then put the lid back on in the engine bay. ive also ordered new brake pads a complete new caliper with carrier too.
-
Will I need to top up with brake fluid or need to bleed the brakes. Will it be a simple as pinch and swap ??? also is it normal for the inner brake pad to wear thinner like this ??? im guessing I need to buy new brake pads too
-
so i revisited this today, had another go but no chance. i have to bite the bullet and replace the caliper. can anybody tell me how to not fully bleed the brakes and just do it so i have to top up with some brake fluid as my next service in january the fluid gets changed.
-
Yes I done the fronts last year. they were rusted but managed to get them out. the rear I will order the pin bolt kit. can you reuse the calliper after the pin bolt ha snapped ? This is my worry. lexus said new calliper. Lexus brakes and discs are so way to do yourself why pay them. but I need this rear calliper bolt off. might buy some better or penetration oil as I only had wd40 and that didn’t do much
-
@ColinBarberWhat do you recommend ??
-
So today I went to attempt to remove my rear Calliper (passenger side ) top slider pin, no problem . bottom pin is rusted on so tight it’s like it’s welded. After 2 hours of soaking and hitting with various tools it still wouldn’t budge. can any body help me please on how I can remove be this pin. the movement I can feel is where the thread has slight unwinded giving the tiniest amount of play. also brake pad in that side has worn down nearly half. Do I need a complete new calliper and slider pin ??????
-
Thanks yes I’ve used this in the past but wanted more like 5% even 10% off as I know it’s possible .
-

-

With my car 2009 259c nothing would play ball and tech steam didn’t support apparently as I’m told ??
-
I got the new sensor from eBay original oem and put in by kwik fit for no charge £(FREE) then I went to a private Lexus technician Who had the computer and lead and reprogrammed for me. Very handy contact
-
All done all coded £70 for sensor and £30 to recode reprogram well happy
-
Just contacted Lexus to fit the sensor is £115 including vat with service. I already have the part. They said only they can do it .
-
Ok thanks I will take it to kwik fit and see if they can register the new one I’m ordering from Lexus parts direct. I will keep you updated.
-
Watched it but it made no sense to me
-
Ok so how do I do that as the toms sensor I’m going to purchase is from Lexus parts direct too . is there a charge ??
-
As in it’s the same model
