Replacement of Front Brake Pads

Model: Lexus IS MK 2 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Brake pads

Replacing the brake pads is one of the easiest maintenance tasks you can perform yourself: lift the vehicle on a jack or hydraulic lift if possible; then remove the front wheel and the fixing pins of the brake caliper; take off the brake caliper, disconnect the wear sensor plug and remove the old pads; attach the sensor to the new pads, position them in the support, connect the sensor plug, retract the caliper piston using a suitable tool or a pair of pliers and secure it to the support; pay attention during the first braking.
