brake

Is there a YouTube Video or write-up on how to take apart the hub and inspect the bearings? I found one video where the guy already has the hub taken apart. I'm not even sure how to get to that point. In the picture below, the nuts labeled "A" and "B" that I un-tighten are just spinning freely...

Just thought this could be helpful for someone and to save money.

Hello, I am in need of a rear axle (rusted through diff) for my 95' and am able to get one off a 91' with drum brakes. My question is, if possible, what would be needed to do this swap? Thanks! Pat

Hello Everyone I am going to be bleeding my brakes on 1991 Land Cruiser after replacing front brake calipers using the Power Bleeder. I just wanted to make sure my bleeding sequence is correct. RR - LR - LSPV - FR - FL

Now you know why. Part Number: 90541-06063 The remains of the old one are probably on your carpet :)

I've got a 95 with rusted out brake backing plates and am looking for a fresh "er" set to replace them with. My rig is a 95 fzj80 with full float rear with disc brakes. Wanting both sides. Thank-ya! :beer:

Hopefully someone can help me out with this one. Currently I do not have brake assist on my 1985 FJ-60 meaning it more coasts to a stop than actual braking. This truck sat for 14 years so I am running in to a lot of weird things. I just finished doing a valve job due to a stuck intake valve...

Ok I hear people complaining about getting their brakes bled, and all the difficulties and the need of another person, I bought a small garden sprayer, cut the sprayer handle off, got a 3/16 male threaded nipple, took a new MC cap took the one way valve off, got a small hose clamp to clamp the...

I have recently gone down the path of a brake upgrade and the results are amazing. I have a 76 with stock front disks. Parts list. 94 non abs master cylinder 89 mini truck booster with Racers adapter. Posers brackets with montecarlo calipers. Racers adjustable proportioning valve. 90 chevy...

77 FJ40 front disc rear drum all new brakes, lines, wheel cylinders, booster, master, etc. Great pedal, good brakes except under hard braking. I am getting too much rear lock up. I backed off the rear shoes way more than the 4-5 turns the WSM suggests and they still lock up. Pedal starting to...

Dont have my cruiser with me so I dont have my FSM with me either. However I am pretty sure that I have a booster problem and was going to grab the part on the way home but wanted to confirm with yall first to confirm my suspicions. Brakes do work better when engine is running than not. (I...

History: My brakes are "spongy" for lack of a better word. The pedal depresses almost to the floor and then there is slight resistance for a few inches before the brakes engage. Over these few inches of resistance, the pedal travel is spongy and at no time "firm". I replaced all soft lines...

Anyone care to give they're opinion on brake fluid types. I've used Gunk HD DOT 3 brake fluid & Castrol synthetic DOT 3 and they seem fine (no issues). I just pick up some Valvoline Synthetic DOT 3 & 4. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the Valvoline or others? Edite 10/12/24 Over the...

Looking for mostly complete or complete FJ55. I am after the 4spd and transfer case along with all associated parts and fine spline axles disc front and drum rear. Would also like a few bits from engine. Figured best bet would be to find a roached out complete or mostly complete parts truck...

I've been troubleshooting my trailer wiring and noticed that the brake lights on the hatch don't light up. Outer brake lights and the high center/3rd light work fine, but the signal isn't getting to the hatch lights. I pulled one and it lit up fine when I applied 12 volts to the harness. I...

Hello, i have a 1999 LX470. I noticed there is strange noise (sounds like servo motor or kind of screwing sound) when I first turn on key to light up the dash also when I press brake several times. It also happens frequently during driving when I press brake pedal several time, like in heavy...

Is there supposed to be a gasket between the MC and the booster? I have a FJ62 and took off the old MC and there was nothing between the two but I thought I read somewhere there was supposed to be. Thanks for any help!

I have owned "uglina" for several years (see 27 page build thread on this site). She has front discs and rear drums. Until about 2 months ago, the brakes were great. Recently, the car has started pulling to the left. It has gotten to the point where it pulls pretty hard when you apply the...

This may be a stupid question, but is there any difference between Toyota brake fluid compare to regular dot 3 brake fluid made by say Preston, valvoline synthetic brake fluid or other's make brake fluid? I am not concern with the fancy higher boiling point brake fluid as I am not going to race...

Next time you are underneath check the condition of the inner front brake hoses. I had one fail a few days ago (luckily it wasn't catastrophic). Replacement wasn't very difficult at home but would definitely suck to do in the parking lot of a parts store on a road trip. The previous owner...
