brake

I'm a relatively new 96' FZJ80 owner and it's my first post here so excuse please excuse me being a complete novice. My brakes went spongy/soft suddenly at a stoplight, and if I pump a couple times they firm up (not always), but it doesn't hold and the pedal just slowly sinks to the floor. I...

I'm in the process of a complete brake system overhaul on my '93 FZJ80. I had a near-miss in a panic stop a few months ago and have done a bunch of work on them since then, but they're still not what I would like them to be. As a part of the overhaul I bought 4 used calipers and am rebuilding...

Anyone explored, or installed a 'Red Line' front brake kit on an FJ62? I have an '88 FJ62 that I'm looking to 'update' the braking performance overall.

Working on repairs to a 1963 40FST. This is my first 40 and i am not a mechanic. From what i can tell, 1963 was complicated for the 40's. I have attached a picture. From what i can tell, i have the dual sided turn signals, black face instrument cluster, aftermarket heater, no badging other...

Getting ready to buy some slotted DBA rotors and looking at brake pads. Most sights show the parts I am looking at only good for 2008 to 2010. A couple show to 2015 I am pretty sure the rotors and pads are the same from 2008 to 2015. In 2016 they switched to larger calipers I believe Anyone...

Hello everyone. I'm looking to replace the drum brake cylinders all the way around on the 75' NZ FJ45. I've tried all the usual suspects, SOR, cruisercorps, beno, etc., etc. nobody is 100% sure that what they have will work. I always see this company .....4X4 world.com.au.......when I'm...

1973 FJ40 brake master cylinder. I have been looking around for a rebuild kit, SOR is out, and other stores don't seem to have any. Anyone know where I might find one?

Had my brakes checked out when I got my rig at 257k miles. Now at 266k... Had a weird ticking noise on my RR wheel... And then a grinding noise started... Here's where my pad came to rest, and the resulting caliper I checked my front pads after replacing both rear calipers, rotors and...

Does or can anyone make #35 hard brake line from the front resevoir of the master down to the frame to connect to the middle soft line? It has the curls in it. I'm just not sure I have enough brake line work to justify the tools or if buying a kit is the way to go..

I'm finally getting around to rebuilding the knuckles to replace the leaky seals and find I need some help. The truck is a '72 FJ40 with a disc brake front axle, reportedly off of a '78 FJ40. There are no dust cover back plates behind the rotors. I expect they belong there but are missing. The...

Bought these when I owned my HJ, which has been gone for a while. $300 for 2 new drums and one full set of shoes. Shipping will probably be upwards of $75 because these suckers are heavy! @tlaporte has right of first refusal because I've worked on his rig...and because he's local.

Would someone who has made the switch describe the difference between these two pads?

Finally decided to finish installing the stainless brake lines. In this video I install the the stainless lines where the hard lines on the body meet the axle. Both lines are located be the wheel wells\axle on the passenger side of the truck. You can also follow my main build thread here...

So I just finished rebuilding my knuckles and installed new calipers while I was at it. After bleeding the brakes and taking the car for a test drive, the brake pedal goes really far to the floor before I feel anything. Any tips?

I'm fixing up my parking brake assembly as it had been leaking oil all over the place. Finally putting it back together and I can't wrestle the compression cable back into it's seat. Is there a trick to this? Are newer cables easier to compress? Should I remove the cable completely and do on...

Hello, having 1996 FZJ80 with automatic transmission I struggled when descending mountain passes. Do you guys have any tricks how to properly brake when going down very steep mountain pass ? Put in low and first ? I was almost without breaks on this pass: Any other options then just stop...

I rebuilt my brake master, but after assembly the stroke was to short. The only parts to mix up are the springs as the book does not specify which goes where. Is it the thick one going in first?
