Lexus 35683-33030 Disc, Brake, NO.3

Begin by loosening the wheel lug nuts. Then, raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Remove the wheel and install the lug nuts to hold the disc in place. If you're working on the rear brake disc, ensure that the parking brake is released.

Before removing the brake disc on these models, activate the parking brake system's "pad replacement mode" using a Toyota Techstream scan tool or equivalent. An alternative method involves unplugging the electrical connector from the parking brake actuators, grounding one terminal on the actuator with a jumper wire, and applying battery voltage to the other terminal while closely monitoring the piston. If the piston extends outward (indicating parking brake application), immediately reverse the connections. Then, remove the lug nuts securing the disc and slide the disc off the hub.
