This will be my final scheduled video of my previous recorded videos before Emma was born. I will be back next week with all new videos. Can't wait to get back out there in the world lol.
why did you not use copper grease on the back of the pads? they must really squeak and scream? whats with puting extra strain on the brake line by letting it just hang there? not clear on the video, but did you fold back the split pin? hope so.....
Great video. Weird enough I’ve changed my pads recently, and after a week or so (300miles later) front right side started giving me noises rattles and claps…
my car battery went dead while bleeding my brakes. After i finished the brake flush, i jumped the engine but then immediately the check engine light turned on. I went to autozone and code ABS malfunction and traction off showed up on dash. not knowing what to do, i removed the battery, check engine light turned off for now but for how long?
where did you purchase the rotor? did you use LEXUS OEM 2 part rotor or aftermarket 2 piece? what is brand brake pads? would you ever just swap out brake pads and leave same rotor to cut on cost?
I know this video is 3 years ago but I have one question. How does prying that brake pad to push in the brake piston not wrap the rotors? You can clearly see that the rotor is flexing as he prying that brake pad in.
The rotor moves nothing but the caliper is holding it on at this point tire and lugs hold the rotor tight. It's not actually flexing, but rather sliding back and forth
because he is replacing the rotors so it doesn't matter if the rotor gets warped or scratched. only do that if you are planning to replace your rotors.
Great video, thanks bro. Can't believe how easy this was. I only replaced the pads and it took me about 30-45 minutes at the most. A while back I paid around $1500 for new rotors and pads at the dealership. Thanks again🤘🤘
Did you have to get a new shim kit? My brakes are making noise and I don't have no shim pads. Dealer said I need to get some shim jit6for anti squik. Thank you
Nice video bud. Question, did you not use the OEM shims off the OEM pads on top of the ones on the back if the pads? Also noticed no antisqueal stuff was used on the back of the pads. Do you get any squeal? I did a change on my 2015 RC350 and the brakes squeal alot. I did use the OEM shims though. Thanks again.
No anti-screech lube on the back of those pads or on the pad to caliper metal contact points? and who takes a rotor off after installing new pads. Only a backyard mechanic allows a caliper to dangle from and put strain on a rubber brake. Terrible example of a mechanic.
i had got a brand new 2015 toyota avalon xle in april of 2015.. thinking about a Lexus Gs 350 fSport.. how is the maintenance on the GS 350 compared to my avalon???? reliable ?
Well they are both essentially Toyota's. So the GS will be just as reliable. Problem is you also pay the Lexus mark ups on parts if you are going through dealer only parts and service.
Beautiful job Bro. Nice GS fsport. Fsport pads and rotors only last 30000 kms, max 40000. Cost a fair bit if replaced at Lexie workshop. Had mine done a week ago, pads and 2 front rotors about $520AUD plus Lexus labour $221AUD. Still cheaper than most of German cars 😊
My daughter has a 2015 Lexus gs350 f sport. I do all the maintenance and repairs on her car. Labor is free, but I charge her for parts. Still waiting on all the money I spent
Nice write up Do Boy. I've got a 2015 GS 350 F Sport RWD. Where in the heck did you get the 1 pc rotors ? The RWD F S ports usually come with the 2 pc Rotors. How are those Centric Pads working out as well as the 1 pc rotors. Tell me where you got thme please !! Not about to shell out $230.00 each for 2 pc rotors. And yes the replacement rotors do look like a little smaller than the originals.

@0:39 I thought you somehow, someway, were going to compress the piston by hand. I thought it was gonna be the most badass thing ive ever seen
Hello Anthony, where can I purchase the front rotors for my 2014 GS 350 FSport without going to the dealership ?
Great work. Gotta keep the newest addition to the family safe now :)
why did you not use copper grease on the back of the pads? they must really squeak and scream?
whats with puting extra strain on the brake line by letting it just hang there?
not clear on the video, but did you fold back the split pin? hope so.....
exactly. copper anti seize is better as it doesn't break down like regular. also use brake cleaner on rotors to remove grease film.
half way through the video... "why am I watching changing brakes on a lexus at four in the morning? "
Hahaha. Well thanks for watching either way 👍
Great job Anthony. I love my GS350
Can you please show us how to change the rear brakes of F-sport Gs 350 2015? Thank you!
Great video man.!
Great video.
Weird enough I’ve changed my pads recently, and after a week or so (300miles later) front right side started giving me noises rattles and claps…
Had this same problem. Make sure you're using your old OEM shims. If you tossed them, order from dealer for under $20
Awesome work Do Boy!
my car battery went dead while bleeding my brakes. After i finished the brake flush, i jumped the engine but then immediately the check engine light turned on. I went to autozone and code ABS malfunction and traction off showed up on dash. not knowing what to do, i removed the battery, check engine light turned off for now but for how long?
Did you leave the shims off or did the new pads come with the shims already attached?
where did you purchase the rotor? did you use LEXUS OEM 2 part rotor or aftermarket 2 piece? what is brand brake pads? would you ever just swap out brake pads and leave same rotor to cut on cost?

😆. If he's flexing that rotor by hand then he's clearly The Hulk in disguise.
because he is replacing the rotors so it doesn't matter if the rotor gets warped or scratched. only do that if you are planning to replace your rotors.
have the link for the BREMO rotors and pads?
Great video, thanks bro. Can't believe how easy this was. I only replaced the pads and it took me about 30-45 minutes at the most. A while back I paid around $1500 for new rotors and pads at the dealership. Thanks again🤘🤘
what pads did you use? debating on AKEBONO proact 1118. or bosch quietcast

Marc gangsta puffin that brake dust lol

Did the oem shims take away the squeal ?? Having same issues
I tried both and they still squeal. Apparently, the brake pads have to be completely broken in and make sure the hardware has brake lubricant
What a brake job those rotors sure look like they need turned
from where can i can order the rotors for the same Lexus GS-F 2013 ?
Is the car a rwd or awd? What size screw did you use to remove the caliper?
Good work Anthony! :)
Great how to Anthony!
What rotors brand you use for fsport? Lexus want $300 a piece..WTH
Nice brake job, but you left that brake caliper dangling by its lines!?? 😳
No anti-screech lube on the back of those pads or on the pad to caliper metal contact points? and who takes a rotor off after installing new pads. Only a backyard mechanic allows a caliper to dangle from and put strain on a rubber brake. Terrible example of a mechanic.
Damn this video has 14k+ views. Good job guys.

ohh i see gas mileage may be a little different since more power.. i don't like newer GS 350 only 2015 an under new design looks horrible
Keep up the good work man!
Awesome work man!
Stoptech rotors? Muy bueno
Awesome DIY Guys!
Amazing video man!
Beautiful job Bro. Nice GS fsport.

Where did you get pads and rotors for an sport for $500?
Hey man, nice channel! How hard are Lexus cars to work on?
Pretty easy
Yeah They are actually pretty easy to work on.
Do Boy's Garage considering getting my wife a Lexus, lexus, or LR4. I like the fact that maintenance may be cheaper on the lexus
Awesome DIY guys.
Why would you replace the 2 piece rotter with a single piece? I guess $$$
Why didn’t you turn the rotor?
did the brakes squeal like crazy on your f sport too? mine is so damn annoying...btw good video bro.
They did squeal a bit. Thanks!
you need to grease the backing plates.
you need to grease the backing plates.
i was told brembo brakes are prone to squealing
Anybody know the songs used?
Damn those are beefy.
so these rotors don't have a screw to hold the rotors to the hub ( I know the wheel also holds it in place)....
My daughter has a 2015 Lexus gs350 f sport. I do all the maintenance and repairs on her car. Labor is free, but I charge her for parts. Still waiting on all the money I spent
what rotors did you get ??they look smaller?? ...are the also 2 piece?? ...I can't find and replacements for mine
what do you know about AKEBONO ACT1118 brake pads?
Sorry but Akebono pads are OEM to all toyota products - i would not use Centric ... You are letting the flashy box hypnotize you :(
that poor brake line 😨
Yess!!! I would NEVER have my caliper hanging like that!!
Lol
I use akebono pads
What rotors did you replace the 2piece ones with?
Nice write up Do Boy. I've got a 2015 GS 350 F Sport RWD. Where in the heck did you get the 1 pc rotors ? The RWD F S ports usually come with the 2 pc Rotors.

Thanks Viet!
I hate mechanics hanging the caliper like it's no tomorrow
you gotta find a better shop... this guy is a hack....
You definitely can change brakes yourself...
i hope you guys cleaned that new rotor. lol.
No shims and hangs that big caliber from the brake hose. Wtf😮
Everything was great except for letting the caliper hang from the brake line.
Its that easy?! Wth lol
Damn, i cringed when i saw the caliper hanging by the hose, smfh
You are NOT the only one.
Calm down internet techs. It wasn't even hanging long enough to affect anything.
Wrong rotors bro. Look at the heat shield with old rotors and new... about 1 in off
Dude, F sport suck!!!!! GSF all day.😂
You missed the shims.
Bro got scammed
