I am getting ready to replace the front pads and rotors on my 97 lx450 and I have several questions before I start. I was looking at the procedure in the manual and it states on assembly that I torque then spin and retorque the adjusting nut, check the preload with a tensioner, then install the locknut, torque then check the preload again. Does this sound correct? Where do I get this tensioner tool? What size socket do I need for the adjusting and lock nuts? Do I need any other special tools? Do I need any gaskets or seals? I will not be replacing the hub bearings at this time. Any other suggestions or procedures would be greatly appreciated.
I have replaced many pads and rotors, but never on a 4WD truck before, so I am just a little apprehensive on getting the adjustments set correctly.
