My Fj62 is being difficult replaced some broken brake lines but now I cant get my brakes working again. Everything was working fine before the brake line replacement took place.

Clayton, spoke with you this morning about the master cylinder, I can get you the AISIN Master cylinder for the 62 way less than the dealer list of $256.00. call me in the morning if interested and i'll give you a firm price.

I am thinking it got to be the master since it goes from being a firm pedel to soft when you turn it on. I am going to have another eye on the truck but my current master cylinder has rust on it and looks old as hell Thanks again for the help I will call you tormorrow

Maybe in the middle of the night or early sunday morning. I played around with the rear brakes and got them tighter and I have rebleed the system. Ran out of time tonight but it seems like I may be getting some where with getting the brakes back.

I know I am making some progress because before I started tonight I would have my wife full on the brakes and I could turn the wheels by the end of the evening I could no longer turn them by hand.
