John, are you talking about the Caliper bolts, wheel studs or the nuts that hold the wheels on?? The OP and subsequent discussion was about the Caliper bolts.

oh gotcha, I'm talking about the extractor bolt to pop the rotor off the hubs, sorry.

2KHarrier

Ah, I see....

I've actually never used one of those..

Just a BFH and some muscle

Dunno why, I have experienced stuck rotors which a hammer would not get off on various cars....on the LS430, I noticed the fronts wobble without rims mounted, i.e. are only held on by the calipers and pads, so they will come off easily...the rears look stuck to the hubs but I plan on using the extractor holes. I actually need to purchase caliper bolts myself for the job...

Here is a dealer on ebay that you can obtain the proper OEM bolts from. This is the same dealer I purchase my wiper blade inserts from and I have had no problems with them in the past. By the way. I just purchased a 2005 LS430 with about 148K miles on it and am loving it. I had a 2010 ES 350 before this car and the LS430 is a true luxury car. The 2010 ES was just a Camry with a nicer interior in my opinion.

The part number for each bolt is 90105-14151. This is an actual Lexus dealer in Scottsdale, Arizona that is selling them on ebay and they sell many other parts on there as well.

Do they come in a sealed bag....I've seen an eBay seller doing front/rear (8).....I have to be cynical and ask, if not in a Toyota bag, how can anyone tell that they haven't already been used...I have 4 old ones in my garage and they look new...

Good question. I have not purchased these caliper bolts from them but will most likely purchase them when I do the calipers on my 05 LS next spring. They are stated as being new and in the picture you can see some red thread locker on them which looks new to me. It would probably be a good idea to call them to see if they come in a sealed bag or not. The only thing I have purchased from this dealer is wiper blade inserts three times and they were definitely new Lexus OEM inserts each time and came with a legit dealer invoice and a 12 month warranty that was specified as being valid at any USA Lexus dealer. I live in Missouri by the way and do not work for that Lexus dealer in Arizona it was just more convenient than driving across town to the dealer here in Kansas City.

The extractor bolts work great for removing stuck rotors. Just screw them in and you get a cool ping\pop sound when the rotors break loose from the hub.

Also, if you do get the extractor bolts make sure to put them in some sort of labeled container in your toolbox so you know what they are in the future.

I've also spent a lot of dough with Bell Lexus through their eBay site getting parts for my LS430 and my GX460. Always OEM parts, shipped quickly!

I live 5 miles from Bell Lexus in Scottsdale. No need to worry about the quality or integrity of their eBay offerings as they are 100% legit.
They have a rather progressive parts dept with a presence on both Amazon and eBay.

Well, I just bought two for the knuckle that I'm now replacing and they did not come in bags... The parts guy just handed me two bolts. I would say that you might be ok with the ebay seller as long as the threadlock is not disturbed.

EDIT: Just follwed the link and those look exactly like what I picked up yesterday. I'd say you'd be good buying those.

Johnhav430

I purchased them, so here's the deal.....the Toyota bag, like drain plug washers, diff crush washers, etc., have qty 10. My order had the bags, clearly showing the p/n for front, and p/n for rear. The bags were opened, with 4 bolts in each. I believe they are brand new, and most likely the other 6 for each bag, were used at the dealership, or maybe shipped out. But it seems the mfg. does not package them in qty 2 or qty 4, or maybe they do, but 10 is more common. Since these bolts are rather pricey, I would say get them on eBay from a dealer....

Johnhav430

Good to know....they even include a Lexus invoice from their dealership, and state you get a 12 mo./12k warranty at any Lexus dealership, seems legit to me....
