    Rear Caliper Slide Pins

    Hello, I was recently replacing my rear caliper slide pins. I had to take a brake as my calipers were messed up and had to order news ones. Going back to it I don’t remember which hole the slide pin with the rubber piece goes. Does it matter which hole or position it is in? I’m worried it’ll get...

    Front Brake Servicing Opinions and Advice

    As background, about a year ago my front passenger brake caliper came off completely while braking/exiting the highway. Grinded the inner wheel a bit, but otherwise no major issues. I re-installed the caliper with appropriately torqued new bolts and have gone on multiple trips since then...

    80 Series Diesel in Costa Rica - nice ride but having a strange prolonged issue with the brakes

    I have attached some photos of my 80 series - Turbo Diesel - and a bit of the journey I've been on. My mechanic and I found the listing for this car on Facebook marketplace. It had been in an accident and the front transaxle was severely bent, and the axle shafts broken. We retrieved the car...

    Odd noise after wheel bearing re-torque

    Hello all, I did some searching and couldn't find a similar post. I just re-torqued my front wheel bearings per the FSM. Drives great, feels smooth as always. But now when breaking on a downhill, as I pass from like 20 down to 10 mph, I am getting this weird groaning and subtle vibration from...

    Weak Braking Power

    Recent GX460 owner, 2012 model. Noticed the brakes are relatively weak, requires early braking, and foot completely to the floor to keep it from rolling. Rotors, pads, and tires are good. Plan to inspect fluid and potentially swap. However, was curious if this was normal for a 2012 GX? I...

    Brake inequality

    Paid my mobile mechanic to do a rear brake job for me. He's usually very Dilligent. Part of getting it ready for regular driving. Now that I've been driving it more, when I slam on the brakes the rear passenger locks up way before the others... Honestly before I fell like I'm really braking...

    Brake Booster Line Ports Front vs Rear

    When I bought my 02 LX470, it came without the stock hydro brake booster assembly. I purchased a new assembly to install and am trying to get it bolted in and bled over the weekend. I think(?) the 2 ports on the front of it that point towards the battery are for the front, and the two that...

    Break problems advice.

    I have been plagued with weak brakes. I have to jam the pedal super hard to stop and I can’t stop fast enough to get the ABS to ever activate. (Can’t remove it by law here). What have I checked: 1. Brake booster seems to work and pulls a vacuum. 2. Replaced master cylinder and bench bleed it...

    No proportioning valve from factory?

    I've been trying to install an entirely new brake system in my 1981 bj42 (canadian). I've replaced all brake lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, calipers, etc. But never came across any kind of promotioning valve. I'm thinking the PO may have removed it, or that it just never came with one...

    Brake caliper brain scratcher

    So a while ago I got my front calipers, brake pads and rotors replaced on my 1996 80, but have just noticed that a small part of the brake pad is sitting outside the brake rotor (as shown in the attached photos). The rotors are 311mm which is the correct size and brake pads are for "90-"98...
