[QUOTE="JonathanC, post: 2073622, member: 209992"] i am 17 and work at a automotive shop at school so if i am wrong please correct me well on the seals and fittings for the brake line if there are any cracks or dry rot i would replace and i would go with copper alloy it is very easy to bend but if u have other tubes u prefer to keep the tube from kinking i put sand in the tube and and on the ends put duct tape. then do what u have to do but on Lexus i have had to drill the rotors out a few times. but fore part u need a C clamp, brake pads or drums, and rotors. first start with taking the tire off then take off the brake caliper and take the clips on the caliper then after that if u have a sand blaster i sand blast the clips then take the pads off and this is where the C clamp comes in there is a round thing with a hole put the old bad there and get the C clamp and push the thing back so it compresses it together.then put the new pads in and put it on and tighten the bolt and then put the tire on and u need to torque the lug nuts to proper torquing is 80 foot pounds if i am correct i think and am pretty sure on that but u fix what u thing needs fixed so now u know how to do brakes.
