Couple of projects we are wrapping up....
Project #1
Parking Brake handle refresh kit. Comes with a new handle, button, and spring.
The handle is a tight interference fit. It has a minimum removal force of 100 lbs. When installing one will need to set the handle in hot water for two...
1965 FJ45 LPB is the model. Doing the first drum brake front right. Wheel cylinders rebuilt, new shoes, and springs. They were apart when I received it so going by manual. Seems both springs go behind shoes if I read correctly. The left wheel cylinder spring is very close to adjuster...
Ok, we need to either rebuild the Clutch Master & Slave Cylinder or buy a new one - any recommendations?
- I don't know if they make a rebuild kit for the slave cylinder.
- Is it better to buy new, if so, where do you recommend. It is funny, I was on CR and the Clutch MC for a '75-80 is $45...
One of the two RR Brake lines started leaking the other day and I was able to order 47322-60732 Tube Rear Brake No.2 but the No.7 has been "discontinued" without a replacement? Suppose I'll have to custom bend/flare a No.7 but thought Id post here first to see if anyone has one lying around. :oops:
My dashcam captured this today after I made a left turn. sounds like it is coming from drivers side front. Then it suddenly stops after a final ‘kah-chunk’

is this a sticky brake caliper or brake plate rubbing?
Hello,
I am working on a truck that I received in boxes. This is my first go round with the FJs.
I have a new master cylinder, the dual piston model with dual reservoirs. I also have new hard line kit.
The hard lines could hookup either way. Do the rear brakes engage first or the fronts?
I...
Hello mudders. I have very specific brake issue on my 62. I ran into the back of an F250 yesterday with my wife in the car. Fortunately it was fairly slow, 15mph roughly at impact, down from maybe 40mph. We are fine, but im embarrassed. I have an ARB bumper that destroyed the trucks rear...
Hello,
Does anyone know the part number to the spiral brake line that connects to the brake master cylinder? I ended up rounding one of the heads :/

Thank you!
I want to ask, if I were to suction out all of the brake fluid (Toyota DOT3: 00475-1BF03) from the reservoir of my 100LC, does the new fluid that I put in eventually cycle through the whole brake system? Could doing this a few times be the lazy man's way to incorporate new brake fluid without...
I just had the master cylinder replaced by a local shop and now the LX pulls a little to the right when braking. I'm assuming that there's air in the lines and was curious if It's best to bleed the lines at the master cylinder as well as wheels.
TIA
Hey all,
Does anyone happen to know if the hard brake lines on a 70 series are the same as other models, or are they different?
I’ve got a snapped hard brake line on the front, left hand wheel (axle/backing plate to caliper) on a 91 hzj73. Wondering if I can get lucky and pick up a matching...
Drove my '70 today. The brakes are malfunctioning again. Maybe 200 miles since serviced by some other guy before I go the vehicle. He did a bad job, the petal pulsed right after he was finished. Now it is pulsing and locking up the driver's rear and pulling left when braking with any force...
Hey guys I just recently finished installing a GS-100A Controller strobe on my motor bikes brake light for extra safety.
Had a extra GS-100A Controller so decided to install it on my 2006 Tacoma's third brake light.
Was to be simple but after my install it seems as my third brake light will...
