How to Replace Front Brake Pads / Rotors - 2007 Lexus GS 350 AWD

This video is about changing the Front Brakes/Rotors for a 2007 Lexus GS 350. Should cover 2006-2009 GS350/GS430 and perhaps even the LS430 and LS460 in principle. ===================================== This is my first attempt at the front brakes for this vehicle. First brake job ever! It's also my first video for YouTube and first time editing a video! So, a bunch of firsts. It's not perfect. The sound is messy, the editing is crude, and I'm not the best mechanic in the world--but I sincerely hope it helps you. ================================== A few helpful links for you: www.lexuspartsnow.com (where all parts can be purchased at a discount in comparison to the retail price you'll likely pay at the Lexus Parts Dept. at your local Lexus. ==================================== South Main Auto:    / @southmainauto   This is home to Eric O., or Dr. O. He is my mentor. I started watching Eric in September 2015 and I've watched pretty much every video and many I've watched 2-3 times :). His brake videos are the best I've ever seen. He explains everything he does and has a tremendous ability to teach you and not talk down to you when he does his repairs. He is a wealth of knowledge. Eric, if you read this, thank you. Here is a link to Eric's Brake Videos (check out all of his videos at the link above):    • Playlist   . His video entitled "Brake Pad Replacement - A Focus on Brake Hardware" is my personal favorite. A must-watch!! ================================== As promised, here are papers on brake pad/rotor "Bed-in" procedures, why it's important to bed-in pads to new rotors, and how to do so: -http://www.stoptech.com/technical-sup... -http://www.centricparts.com/files/Cen... -http://www.stoptech.com/technical-sup... -http://www.stoptech.com/technical-sup... ================================= Parts I Used and Recommend (as of April 2016; As Time Goes On, Upgrades May Become Available): ------------------------------------------------- 43512-30330 DISC, FRONT RIGHT ROTOR 43516-30020 DISC, FRONT LEFT ROTOR 04465-30500 PAD KIT, DISC BRAKE (LEFT & RIGHT SIDE) 04945-30350 SHIM KIT, ANTI SQUEAL (LEFT & RIGHT SIDE) LANG TOOL FOR PISTON COMPRESSION IN 4 PISTON CALIPER http://astore.amazon.com/httpswwwy083...
