My wife took her Lexus to the dealer for 30,000 mile service. They said we need new rear brake pads and rotors. Can you help?

Hi,

Replacing the rear brake pads and rotors isn't too hard to do. Just make sure to get a lifetime pad so you don't have to pay for them again in the future.

You can expect rear brake pads to last approximately 30,000 miles. However, that will change based on driving habits and terrain.

To get you started, here is a link that explains in general how it is done. You can use this as a guide.

If you look at the attachments below, they provide the directions specific to your vehicle for rear brake pad and rotor replacement. These directions are for the entire rear brake system. They include inspection of the rotors and caliper overhaul.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Remember, the directions are for an overhaul. Only do what is needed.

Take care,

Joe
