As far as I can remember, every Lexus has shoes in the back... They are the parking brake shoes, which resides inside the rotor hat... If you knew much about brakes, you would see that in that diagram, there are very few parts, in comparison to true drum brakes, which have star adjusters, a few different springs, and a hydraulic cylinder to actuate them... edit: granted that is not a full diagram, but it is still pretty bare bones...

Did you know that you can buy many OEM Lexus parts aftermarket, just without the Lexus L on the bag they come in for 1/4 to 1/2 the price some times?

Yes I know that. I buy OEM parts from a Lexus dealer cheaper then I can buy junk from Autozone and advanced auto parts. Example, rear pads for my 98 are $42 SHIPPED from a Lexus dealer..Aftermarker pads local are $34 at my local autozone. And why do I want this china junk (that will nto fit the same)? Or NAPA, Quest crap????
I DO NOT buy parts local since a PCV for my other car, 06 is $4.40 SHIPPED to my door from a lexus dealer. The dealers around here are over $25+!!!!ATF filter to my door, same Lexus dealer is $34 shipped, local is over $75.
Yes, I know what the pix had and most aftermarker dealers will not have a clue on the part. Who the heck even worries about the E-brake shoes in the back? Never and issue on my ES's.
Lastly, I stay out of IND shop all I can and do not like dealers unless I need to go. Both have pros / cons.

Funny, since you where in the businees, no Lexus part has an "L" on the bag: they have toyo and the PN.

I actually wasn't talking about Napa, AZ or any of the others, I was talking about resources that I used to use all the time to purchase parts locally that would come in denso bags identical to the Lexus/Toyota bag, but with a different sticker on it...
Who worries about e-brake shoes? Probably those that have them fall apart, wear out, or degrade, as the normally do... Some will never have a problem... When I was a Texas State Safety Inspector, I failed vehicles all the time because their parking brakes wouldn't hold... This was quite common, and many times, this is the necessary repair...

Yes, have to order it from the dealer. Just go to parts dept. and show them which pin you need. I can tell you right now, it will be a lot of funs to put that pin back...lol. You may need extra helping hand and a needle nose piers.

OMG, you are ridiculous... I was not making comment that there is actually a L on the bag, but that it came from the Lexus dealer... Yes, I know there are certain parts that are cheaper from the dealer, definitely... When I was in the business, I would actually buy parts directly from the dealer for my customers cars - just because I worked for an independent didn't mean we didn't use OEM parts when it was justified either by price or reliability reasons...

I also agree that some never fail and I never saw a Texass, for a sticker, check the E-brake. But on the flip side just because it holds does that prove it is working 100%? I think not.
My point in this post is the "l" dealer, at least in my area, are better in some areas then IND shops. I tried the IND shop and never again. Now what I was in Katy, IND shops were great, but that is a diff world down there.
Now this forum and some others know WAY more then any IND dealer or L dealer!
