For sale- ‘82 FJ 45. Looks good…..runs ok…..won’t stop….. no reasonable offer refused.
It’s almost to that point, confirm the back brakes were OK bye isolating that circuit the wheels would spend but I had instant pedal within a half inch or less and it held pressure great.
Went through both sides on the front making sure they were adjusted properly and no other issues, conducted a thorough gravity bleed . Both bleeders fully opened slowly pressing down and then slowly releasing. I saw no bubbles in the reservoir and on the down stroke the fluid level did not move and on the upstroke it just slowly dropped down.
I don’t think this is a push rod issue since the back brakes function perfectly.
One note, I did isolate one front wheel and then the other, each time the pedal got more firm by a similar amount so whatever the issue is I seem to have it equally in both front wheels
