2008 LS 460 Brake Question
So I purchased my brakes online NOT knowing no mechanics will install them for you! LOL
I have a friend who can do this for me, he does all his brake work, don't think he's ever worked on a Lexus before.
Question. Is there any type of literature I can bring to help during the installation process? Just incase we run into a few snags?
I have purchased both front and back sensors.
I am meeting him in 3 hours.

Sensors doesn't need to be replace unless it has been tripped. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...rake-pads.html

This is as basic a brake job as you can get. No sorcery involved. UNLESS YOU open a brake line. Pad and rotor replacement is basic...same with the sensors.

Bc. they didn't purchase the parts is the reason I am given by EVERYONE.

Lame excuse . Shops will not give you warranty on the pads but they can install them.
I buy my own pads for my IS, RX and G sedan and my mechanic installs them.
Have not tried the LS though.

Found a friend to do them and it took 2 hours. Nobody ever told me the sensors are on the RIGHT side. Anyway, we replaced the front RIGHT sensor and the warning stopped and the brakes work. =]
I'm happy!

So now when I go over some speed bumps in my hood, I can hear some small rattling. Does anyone have a clue to what this is? I am FAR from an expert, but I believe something wasn't put on tight enough?

I have no idea how to do that. Here is a video I took. Hopefully you can hear it.

Are these rattle clips on this website where I purchased the brakes?
