Can someone point me in the right direction to find the torque specs for a complete brake job? 2014 rx350 fsport. Replacing pads and rotors only. Will eventually get new calipers, but not now.

Thanks.

why do you need new calipers? These are the specs I use on the fronts, the rears i use the same torque spec on the bracket bolts.



these appear to be the same specs as 1st gen RX300

I don't NEED them... But maybe get some color to the car.

But thanks for the specs!

make a weekend project out of it, start with the rears because you have to bleed them first and do the fronts on another day. Degrease , prep and paint. I use Dorman brake banjo plugs to minimize brake fluid leakage when pulling off my calipers Dorman part 13888 for 2 plugs @ $1.50 a pack.

Great, thanks for the advice! Now to convince the wife that having some color to our calipers will provide benefits to braking efficiency
