Caliper Slide Pin Overhaul - Plus All Models (i Think?)

Great walkthrough! I'm just about do do a brake upgrade so I'll probably change the slide pins while I'm at it.

Just to check though, where you've listed the quantities.

Do the two last part numbers (the bushes) come in pairs? Or do I need 4 of each?

What's the torque setting for the bolts for the calliper mount? Cheers

Just one comment... Lithium based grease is good for bearings but not good for lubricating sliding pins and rubber. There are special silicon based grease designed for this purpose, rubber friendly and high temperature resistant. Copper grease is suitable for metal to metal contacts between brake pads and callipers.

Lithium soap grease is what Lexus state in the workshop manual, use something else if you wish.

2 of each, only 1 slide pin on each side has the rubber bush
