1)jack the car up and remove the front wheel

2)remove the two 14mm bolts that hold the caliper on and pull the caliper off

3)this part req two people.one person goes in the car and pumps the brake pedal till the pistons come out NOT all the way out though

4)clamp the flexi this will stop you loosing all your brake fluid.take a pair of pipe pliers and pull the two pistons out.

5)check the pistons for corrosion if their is remove with wire wool or very fine sandpaper.

6)now remove the two piston dust covers from the caliper and you will then see the two rubber O rings in the caliper remove these.

7)now check inside the caliper for corrosion if so remove this the same way as you cleaned up the pistons.

8)fit your new O rings and coat in high temp grease then fit your new dust covers

9)smeer your nice and clean pistons in high temp grease and carefully insert your pistons into your caliper

10)bolt your caliper on using the two 14mm bolts you removed in step two

11)remove the clamp from the flexi and slacken the bleed nipple and put on your bleed bottle.

12)this part req two people.get the person to pump the brake pedal approx 8-10 times and on the LAST press HOLD the pedal DOWN you then tighten the bleed nipple up.

13)put the wheel back on and have a cup of tea/coffee stand back and think i've just saved over £150 doing this my self!!!!

hope that helps some peeps out?:thumbup::thumbup:

It's a different part number from what I had, but if you gave them the original part number that I quoted maybe it's just a later equivalent ? Or perhaps the same kit for another Lexus/Toyota with the same brakes ?

yeah mate,

assume youve found the section?
you open the online catalogue, find the car, then go to caliper, then associated parts and the bits are there, including new pistons.
