Description
Lexus LS Brake Pad Replacement — With TRW
> Your Lexus LS 460 or 600h's brake pads are what stop you safely, squeezing the rotors to slow you down. They wear down over time, so keep an eye out and replace them before they cause trouble.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like stuck pigs when you hit the brakes
• Brakes feeling a bit soft or slow to respond
• Taking way too long to stop at the lights
• Feeling a judder in the pedal when braking
• Pads looking thinner than a cafe lunch
WOF Worries?
Worn brake pads are an instant WOF failure. Land Transport NZ are pretty strict on brake pad thickness for safety, so best get them sorted! Check their website for the latest rules.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're all set. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Keep that brake dust out of your eyes. Trust me, you don't want that.
• Nitrile Gloves: Protect your hands from the grime. Nitrile Gloves are your mates here.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that brake dust. It's nasty stuff, and you want your new pads to grip clean. Grab some Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly and prevent squeals. Worth its weight in gold.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out your brake pads is key to keeping your Lexus safe and sound. TRW are a solid choice, but CARFIX has a bunch of others to fit your budget and how you drive. If you are not sure, Bob @ CARFIX is always here to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Lexus. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads are right for your Lexus LS 460 or LS 600h. There can be differences depending on the year it was made.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF6038S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
