brake

Had a lot harder time on my drivers side than passenger side with rust when doing the tear down for front wheel bearings. Looks like the brake dust shield plastic shoulder has separated from the metal neck. I’m thinking water is getting in and living there and rusting everything. Logical...

I have a 2014 LX 570. Which tire should I be bleeding first? Has anyone bled the LX 570 brake fluid without taking the tire off? I'm curious if it's even possible. Thank you so much!

Have three sets available. All from 60's with the riveted junction block but will work just fine on 40's as well (with a 60 hose) Two are zero rust/damage that would be perfect to blast/paint for a resto. One of the third pair is nice and the other has some damage from the axle being set down on...

Below the scheme of the wiring for the parking brake. I find all the wires back on my car. But, I have a question about the scheme, it does not make sense to me and also does the behavior when I connect make no sense. The light gets feed from LR. Then continues through either one of the...

In my search for a decent 100 series, I ran in to a truck looks to have a different brake booster, see image. I was in the understandeing all 100 series came with a electric pump as a brake booster. But is anyone familiar with the option shown in the picture? Thanks,

I was taking out the wheel spacers yesterday and noticed this nozzle that seems like something should go in, but couldn’t find a dangling line. For good measure, I compared the driver’s side too. Does anyone know what it’s for?

On my 96 80 series I have a dim brake light on side. The trailer wiring in not the cause (my initial suspicion), standard 1157 bulb is good, wiring harness plugs are all clean and intact, and can’t seem to find a compromised ground. All other lights are the correct level of brightness. Any...

Have a leak (rusted) in one of the steel lines coming of the booster. Trying to find a detailed diagram for part #s. Thanks in advance.

More mechanically educated compatriots, any idea on why the brakes look like they're low on fluid after pressing the pedal a few times, but return to full if the vehicle sits a while? Bad master? Something else? There is inconsistent amounts of dead play in the pedal before the brakes engage...

Hi all On a quest for better brakes i'm looking at the Terrain Tamer booster: 4WD Heavy Duty Brake Booster: Rated #1 [2023] - Terrain Tamer - https://www.terraintamer.com/4wd-products/brake-catalogue/heavy-duty-brake-booster It claims 30% better braking, which is great, but I'm trying to...

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:

Prices for this service has gone redonk, approaching $30/each. Lmk who you use!

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’ 1: 2: is this a sticky brake caliper or brake plate rubbing?

$125 you pay shipping

If you have a pair, please bring it to HDC breakfast today!!! Otherwise, let me know and I'll grab them from you. Thx.

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...
