    '98 4 runner Brake Question

    I recently bought a 98 4runner 4x4 w/rear e-lockers and need to change the front brakes (pads/rotors). After looking at the tundra upgrade I decided to stick with stock and buy Duralast rotors and pads from Autozone. I'm a bit confused as to the brake set up by the prev owner once i got...

    Thanks for the advise on the brake job. 👍👍👍👍 On to another project. When I went to start the 80 it wouldn't start. Started reading on how to diagnose the issue. Got the battery recharged and the starter tested. Both look good. While the starter was out I decide to finally replace the chinese...

    Starting issue

    In the past 1-1.5 years I've had the 80 not start 2-3x but after a few minutes it'll start and go months with no issue. It has 240k miles so it's probably a good time to replace it. First going to take it to autozone to see if it's the starter or something else. Changed the battery terminals...

    Need suggestions for a rear brake job

    Update: the shoes are all ready. The rebuilding of the caliper didnt go as well. On one piston the cylinder boot didnt sit well so in taking the piston out with a flathead with tape around the edge I ended up damaging the metal where the rubber boot sits. I was careful the 1st time...

    I wasnt able to fit the tension spring behind the adjuster since it would be making contact with the e-brake cable. The other wheel has it behind the adjuster, other videos have it this way but I couldn't get it to fit. Did I do something wrong or is it fine to have the tension spring in front...

    Piston looks ok. Here is the caliper and piston cleaned up. Next: 1. Install new brake shoes 2. Rebuild caliper with toyota kit 2. Install new brake pads 3. Fill caliper with brake fluid then install caliper (should I worry that brake fluid might leak onto pads as I'm attaching the caliper?)...

    Need suggestions for a rear brake job

    Lesson learned. I couldn't get the piston back in no matter how hard I tried in order to reattach the caliper. So my father pressed on the piston while I simultaneously turned the banjo bolt with a breaker bar and was finally able to get it loose. He said applying pressure on the piston while...

    Almost scarred to ask....how do these pistons look? Can I re-use after a good cleaning?

    Need some input. Before taking your advice on pulling the caliper off to rebuild it, I had begun taking the piston out and now the only thing attaching the caliper is the banjo bolt connecting the brake line. The problem is the banjo bolt is stuck on there even after applying wd-40. Hard to...

    I was thinking of doing the caliper rebuild while the brake hose was still connected, is this wrong ? When I push the piston out will brake fluid leak if I dont disconnect the hose and then plug the tip? I had a brake flush done last year and was hoping I wouldn't have to do it again.

    FZJ80 Rear break leaking break fluid

    I too am doing this job and came across a video that might offer some insight. The video installs the pistons as @clx16 Said.
