Here's how to change the rear disc rotors and brake pads on most vehicles with rear disc brakes. Procedure is the same for the Lexus ES300, ES330, ES350, RX330, RX300, RX350 and Toyota Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Matrix, Solara, Sienna, Highlander and Venza with rear disc brakes.
These cars have parking brakes as a separate set of shoes inside the drum part of the rotor. Therefore, the parking brake does not have to be disconnected when changing the back brakes, since it is a separate system.
When the brake pads wear down or the rotors become scored or warped, they must be replaced.
Typically the rear caliper is held on by one slider bolt, and one regular bolt (12mm). It is then lifted up and slide out of the way. The caliper bracket is bolted to the steering knuckle with two 14mm bolts. Once those are removed using the appropriate sockets and extensions, the bracket and pads can be moved off as an assembly.
The parking brake drum may need to be adjusted to back it off the internal ridge of the inside of the drum. If the rotor gets stuck, two Metric 8mm bolts can be used to thread into the rotor against the back plate. This will push the rotor off the hub as you tighten it in.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Remember to lubricate the ends of the brake pads, as well as the slider pins when reassembling.
A typical brake job should cost from $60 for cheap pads and rotors, to upward of $200 for very high quality parts.
