In this video, I will go over an in depth look at changing or servicing your disc brake systems, using my Lexus LS400. I will talk about good tools to have and use, best practices, and the actual procedure. I will talk about brake fluid, and break in procedures as well. This is meant to be an in-depth look on how to do a quality, professional brake job.

This video will apply to a majority of brake jobs that use a floating caliper design. Its important to pay attention to the hardware and just make sure that it isn't rubbing on anything it isn't supposed to.

The only thing I didn't really cover is what I actually did with the pad sensors because they couldn't fit. Installation is the reverse of removal. In my case since they didn't have a space, I ziptied the sensors somewhere they couldn't rub.

Thanks for watching!
