How to Replace Rear Brakes 1998-2005 Lexus GS300

New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1APBS00110
This video shows you how to install new rear brake pads and rotors from TRQ on your 1998-2005 Lexus GS300. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1998 Lexus GS300
1999 Lexus GS300
2000 Lexus GS300
2001 Lexus GS300
2002 Lexus GS300
2003 Lexus GS300
2004 Lexus GS300
2005 Lexus GS300

Thanks, I will be trying to replace my rear breaks myself for the first time so this video is perfect

[@monsterjam56]

One missed step I believe, the big clip has to be pushed down after the pin is inserted, you'll notice it has two "steps" on the clip. The bottom will then rest on the outside of the caliper. This step is shown in your other video detailing this process at 17:38.

Thanks for the video. I just did the rear brakes for a Mazda 3, and now I have to do the same for a Lexus GS300. Why did the wheel say Nissan at the end? LOL.
