Could someone attach a link to a good thread on how to remove the radiator ? I'm not having any luck in the search .Thanks .

yes, yes, if it's a large enough leak.

I put the 2 m10-1.0 plugs in the master cylinder and the pedal didn't sink all the way down like it was doing . It seemed to not move much at all . I haven't done any bleeding of the brake lines yet . Should I just try to bleed the brakes...

My comment wasn't so much for a specific model . He ask about ADVICS mastercylinder . I was just pointing out that the advics for the same exact Master cylinder has different part part numbers from different companys from 250.00 from lexus...

Maybe ask in the appropriate forum? LX450?

Thats a good idea too.

My understanding is that air accumulates in the ABS module and cannot be removed via the normal bleeding process. Activating the ABS gets the air out of the ABS module and into the rest of the brake system, where it can then be bled. I had bled...

Lets you adjust the shoes with the drum off. Starts at 1:30

I’m looking into getting a new master cylinder for my lx450 . I went to parts geek and found 2 different part numbers but both supposed to be from advics . The cheaper one 82.97 has a part number that doesn’t come up on any search. The higher...

You've put a lot of thought into this plan, I see!

I've learned a bit more about. That tag has been replaced but I'm hanging on to the old one in case I want to use this Cruiser for illegal activity. I'll swap plates then if spotted the PO will catch the heat.

It looks like the sticker is out of date 24 and should have been renewed this year . It’s 6 months past due or more . If you go to the police department give them the plate number and they might give you there name and address if that’s what...

Say no to ABS

I hear you and will eventually try it here, but probably with speed bleeders installed... And I think exercising the ABS hardware is a good idea, but I remain unclear on why simply activating would dislodge the air or dirty fluid unless the...

Curious about all this ABS actuation to get any potential air out of it... It would seem that if actuating the ABS to purge air, that you would need to open the bleeders and pressurize the brake system while doing so in order for the air to have...

Could you be a little more specific as to what you did? I am hoping to bleed the abs and brakes this weekend.

I don't think the idea is to bleed them while doing this. More along the lines of bleed, activate, bleed again, and check for spongy brakes.

I did the take it to a dirt road and slam on the brakes method to purge mine.

Buy a genuine Toyota master cylinder rebuild kit. The part number is 04493-3D010; there are as many horror stories about failures as there are about successes. I've never personally seen one I couldn't rebuild, but I don't work on rusty...

No. No modern OBD II based ABS bleeder will work. Toyota did have a ABS bleeder, paired with the correct vehicle appropriate pigtail, which would allow bleeding of the ABS actuator. As in the thread I linked to, you need to activate the ABS...

Both plugs are the same size. I don't know what size off the top of my head. To me it would be worth getting the new asian/ADVICS one, you know there is a good fresh bore and I like having a nice new plastic bottle under the hood too but that's...

Oh okay . so none of the scanner- abs bleeders are going to work ? Thanks for telling me . I was just getting ready to order one .

Not going to work on an 80 series as the ABS computer is not connected to the OBDII connector.

This one also looks like it can bleed the abs 125.00 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CSMJJK9/ref=sw_img_1?smid=A2YWURTSRUAKKQ&psc=1

I found the video that shows this abs bleeder . I think I'll get it just in case . I can't get the air out .
