Speed of repair was your prime concern. If they are the closest to your location.

I thought my rear emergency brake was sticking because it was getting hot . It wasn't the brake at all that was causing it to get hot . I pull up the emergency brake before I get out because I'm on a slight hill . When I would go down...

Is the one I put a link to good enough or are you saying get a reman oem part ?

Rear caliper is the same for LX and LC. If you don’t have tools to extract get a reman band-aid caliper. It might be more time efficient.

I'm in the middle of moving . I just changed the back rear brake line on the drivers side that runs to the center of the rear end . I replaced and bleed the master cylinder and connected back up the lines . I went to loosen the rear drivers...

You slide the tube into the handle into it hits the stop. Then remove the stop and use the end of the die that expands the tube to create the bulge. The use the other end of the die to crush and form the double flare.

I though copper brake lines were a no go?

Just guessing... 1) Excessive metal particles on the ABS sensors. 2) Bad ABS sensor. 3) Broken ABS wiring. Check for damaged wiring. 4) Excessive movement of a birfield. Check all bearings. 5) Excessive movement of rear hub. Check all...

Understood. You should connect them one at a time. A small alligator clip on a test lead will do the job. Make sure it has a condom; you don't want to fire two solenoids at once. Not the end of the world, but not good practice, either.

In the photo the green drawing lines that are going to the pins . Sorry I didn't word that very well .

Is there a video out there that shows the abs coming on and wired up and the fluid being bleed out ?

I just want to be clear about a few thing as far as the wiring goes . From the post above that shows a photo on a printed paper that there is a x for the center green pin . For a 97 year is this pin not connected ? If all the green connections...

I just ordered a rebuild master cylinder kit , 66 dollars , the 2 rear brake lines (15.00 each) that fit into the T fitting part number 47396-60010 15.00 that is screwed on to the rear end top . I called the local toyota dealer and they...

Good evening, First timer on here and had a question on hard brake line replacement. I recently had a brake casualty on the hard line running on the driver side frame. I noticed my pedal was very squishy and turns out I had the brake line...

I'm replacing some lines on my 450 and i'm looking to this also . The new line in your photo looks like a bubble flare not a double flare . There is a big difference in the 2 . If you look at the old one its inverted cone shape and thats...

The Toyota lines are on the order of $15 each ordered from Japan or Dubai. I do not know a good reason for using anything else.

I'm wanting to carry a brake line repair kit with me . What is the correct union to use with the Dorman Inverted Flare Tube Nuts 490-710 ? I found this one and it says its for inverted flare , Is this the one I need ? AGS Company Automotive...

Okay I really like that setup . So it looks like it can make 2 different double flares , Which one do I need to us ? Is the 3/16 - 4.75 mm the correct tube size that fits inside it for the 80 series ? What size tube is used in the 80 series...

I use this tool and carry it on trail runs. double flare tool Easy to get perfect double flares and can be done with only 2 hands. And use these nuts brake line nuts

What he linked is copper-nickel alloy, which is perfectly acceptable and excellent to work with. Straight copper is definitely not recommended.

What size line is used in the 80 series ? Metric or standard size ? What type of double fare is used ? iIs it a sae inverted double flare or the Din bouble flare ? Thanks

I've just replaced and built new lines on my 80 using 3/16" copper line from Fedhill https://store.fedhillusa.com/316475mmbrakeline-2.aspx I used this flare tool Eastwood Professional Brake Line and Tubing Flaring Tool -...

I can't speak to the 80 lines, but I'm having uncomfortable flashbacks to the last time I used a tool like that. I don't know... maybe the one I got was just junk, but I'm prejudiced against that style entirely. SuperFastMatt has a good brake...

Pretty sure they're metric. Take a look through this thread. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/question-about-brake-line-fittings-cutting-and-flaring.779567/

I was going to order this kit from amazon but I wanted to make sure it would work . The sizes of the flare tool are 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" and 1/2” standard sizes . Is the lines on the lx450 metric or standard ? Will this tool work for...
