Glad they solved the problem, sorry you are/were possibly having problems with the Callahan caliper. I priced new rotors from Lexus and Toyota before going with Callahan, but at that point they were waaaaaay more than $140 each. Had that been the case, I would have picked up the new. Seems...

Did you ever do the GX460 front brake conversion? If so, how did it go, and how do you like them. Just wondering. Thanks.

Also, definitely was not old brake fluid. Pulsating is an issue with the 470. Would be great if a flush & fill would take care of the problem. Good luck, and keep us posted on how your conversion goes.

I've put on just over 7k miles. Loving the conversion. No pulsating whatsoever. So far, well worth the investment. About 300 miles ago, I ditched the PowerStop front pads and put on Akebono. The PowerStops had about 19k miles. I just never liked them. Always felt like there were chucks of...

👍

They made some design changes in 2016, and everything I read said the 2016+ 460 calipers would not work on the 470.

Helpful hint: I watched this YT video before doing the conversion.

Total cost of conversion: Callahan remanufactured calipers (Amazon) $120.36 Raybestos rotors (carid.com) $163.43 StopTech (Centric) steel braided lines (Amazon) $45.60 Dorman speed bleeder valves (Amazon) $15.26 Labor $0 (Sunday morning) TOTAL $344.65

Not sure if the label will stay on, but wanted future mechanics to be aware...

THE AFTER! I placed a label on the new brake lines that these are GX460 rotors & calipers in case anyone else is tooling around under here in the future. Driver side... Passenger side...

New lines installed. Notice the plug...

The plugs that came with the new brake lines are to insert in the end during installation to keep the brake fluid from draining out. Afterwards, they can be used as a cap for the bleeder valves.

460 Raybestos performance -vs- 470 PowerStop Same diameter, different thickness...

Before with PowerStop rotors & 470 calipers... Original brake lines...

Well, operation GX460 Brake Conversion happened Nov 1. I replaced the stock front 470 calipers with remanufactured 460 calipers from Callahan (via Amazon). Front rotors went from 470 PowerStop slotted & drilled, to 460 Raybestos performance rotors. And finally, I upgraded the brake lines to...
