PART NUMBER INFORMATION:
For the part numbers of these pad kits, shim kits and fitting kits matrix, please consult the most recent Lexus Parts Operations Communications Bulletin.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. All vehicles are to be inspected to insure that the integrity of the complete brake system is maintained. When replacing worn pads, you should replace the shims, wear indicators, (wear indicators may be riveted onto pads for some models) and shim grease at the same time using the pad kit and shim kit. Vehicles found to need extensive hardware replacement, including anti-squeal springs and support plates, should be repaired using the pad kit, shim kit and fitting kit, which together include all hardware components.
2. When applying shim grease, apply a thin layer over the shim faces as indicated.
3. Anti-squeal springs and support plates my be reused if they are in good condition. When reusing anti-squeal springs and support plates inspect them for appropriate rebound and no deformation, burrs, cracks, wear, rust, or foreign materials.
