Hi
after battling brakes for two days, I finally gave up on being stubborn, and bleeding it right.
I just insatlled the biggest 4runner calipers (casting S13WB, 4X45mm pistons), and went out to bed in my Hawk LTS pads and ended by the roadside with locked brakes... Damn!
I loosened a bleeder and drove home.
Thought my master was toast and wouldn't let the fluid back. Went home and took a new one i had one the shelf and put it in, easy install etc.
After this the brakes where mushy, the front didn't take right, but the rears where locking fine (12.5X35R15 KMII). I bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and bled and..... The pedal stayed mushy, so I finally tossed the tools, washed my hands and opened the computer and went on MUD!
Ok, so I didn't bleed the LSPV.. I knew it was there, but the bleeder looked really bad, so I thought I could just flush any bubbles out... I believe I was wrong, and my brake woes lies in a bubble in the LSPV. So I tried (as gently as could, using heat, WD40 and a lot of patience) to loosen the bleeder, and.... SNAP! damn!!! I broke it.
Then I tried to bleed it on the lines, but it just won't work right, so here's the Q:
LSVP's for a HJ61 are not availiable online, I know Toyota will demand an exorbitant price here, but I have found others online, looking exactly the same, but with other parts numbers, can I use these? (If I stay smart enough not to get the mirrored version)?
Thanks!
