How to remove the rear caliper on Lexus RX330?

2016 and later Lexus models are equipped with an electronic parking brake system. Before removing the rear caliper the parking brake system must be placed in "pad replacement mode" which requires the use of a Toyota tech stream scan tool or equivalent. This procedure rotates the nut inside the rear caliper piston allowing the piston to be compressed for new pads or new brake disc to be installed. An alternative to the factory scan tool is to unplug the electrical connector from the parking brake actuators, ground one of the terminals on the actuator with a jumper wire and apply battery voltage to the other terminal. Keep an eye on the piston - if it travels outward (applying the parking brake), stop immediately and reverse the connections. Always replace the calipers in pairs - never replace just one of them. To remove, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheels. Remove the brake hose banjo bolt and disconnect the hose from the caliper. Plug the hose to keep contaminants out of the brake system and to prevent losing any more brake fluid than is necessary. If you're just removing the caliper for access to other components, don't detach the hose. Remove the caliper mounting bolts. Remove the caliper. If necessary, remove the caliper bracket from the steering knuckle or rear knuckle. To install, reverse the removal procedure. Tighten the caliper mounting bolts (and bracket bolts, if removed) to the torque. Install new sealing washers on either side of the brake hose banjo fitting, then tighten the banjo bolt to the torque. Bleed the brake system. Install the wheels and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque. On 2016 and later Lexus models, apply and release the parking brake several times to actuate the caliper pistons and bring them into the proper positions.

Lexus RX330 Brake Caliper

The Lexus RX330 Brake Caliper is applied to translate hydraulic pressure into clamping force so that the pads clamp the rotors and cause the SUV to slow down. Housed in cast iron bodies that have steel or phenolic pistons, each unit has bores, seals, dust boots, a bleeder screw and a hose port that feeds pressurized fluid from the master cylinder. Within many model years, the front Brake Caliper is of a floating design with one or more pistons located on the inboard side of the front Brake Caliper which are fitted with pins; some rear units feature a screw style parking brake feature as well. Earlier and premium trims have also made use of the fixed Brake Caliper, which is bolted solidly over the rotor with opposing pistons for greater and uniform power. The main difference is movement, a floating assembly will move laterally to clamp whereas a fixed assembly will remain rigid and use multiple pistons to bite from both sides. Whichever style a Lexus RX330 comes in, some of the common warning signs of potential trouble are fluid leaks, soft pedal feel, dragging brakes, uneven pad wear, or the SUV pulling to one side. Prompt inspection of the Lexus Brake Caliper helps to avoid the problems of seized pistons or corroded slide pins that can overheat rotors and reduce stopping power, leaving every RX330 confident under braking and ensuring that the Lexus RX330 Brake Caliper continues to bite evenly.
