Does anyone know where I can get DIY instructions on replacing brake pads for a 2006 GS300?

Is this in the DIY 'sticky' thread somewhere?

thanks

I've never done this on a 3GS, but of all the cars I've changed pads on, the procedure has been the same.

- Remove brake fluid reservoir cap.
- Take off the tire.
- Loosen the two bolts on the back of the caliper.
- Swing up the front of the caliper which holds the pads in place (do not take the caliper off the hub unless you are changing rotors also)
- Remove old pads.
- Compress the brake piston with a large set of pliers or c-clamp.
- Install new pads and shims.
- Apply anti-brake squeal paste if desired.
- Close the caliper.
- Tighten the bolts to spec.
- Replace tire.
- Replace reservoir cap.
