Replacing Rear Discs and Pads

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

To replace the rear discs and pads, lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheel. Disconnect the first spring, the outer one, located just behind the pads, then remove the two pins that secure the pads to the caliper. Before extracting the pads, leverage between the disc and the old pads to retract the caliper piston, remove the internal spring from the pads, then slide the pads out and disassemble the caliper. Next, remove the brake disc, which also acts as a drum, clean its seating on the hub, and install the new disc after cleaning off any protective oil. Reassemble the caliper, insert the new pads, springs, and pins.

To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
