brakes

I plan on replacing my front brake pads this weekend. In the process I also plan on resurfacing the rotors. Might as well give the hub some attention as well. If the parts aren't destroyed, would I need to replace the bearing seals, bearings, gaskets, etc in the hub or can I just repack? As...

Hey guys, I unfortunately don’t drive a LC but I do drive a 4runner (2003 sr5 V8 118k) and I was hoping one of you could meet up with me and help me diagnose/fix an issue my truck just started having. My rear passenger side brake is making an awful grinding noise. I’m hoping its not the...

The motor went out on my master cylinder assembly booster pump motor and Toyota replaced the entire assembly rather than just the motor. Toyota said it was the motor that failed and the rest of the assembly was in good working order. My plan was to have pump rebuilt with a new motor and then...

Hey guys need a little input. 92 FJ80 So last summer me and my father overhauled the front brakes while we did the knuckle rebuilds. We also replaced the soft lines and a few crispy hard lines. As I get ready to rebuild my rear drums this summer I noticed my LSPV is looking really rough and...

i have a 94’ fzj80 and am having brake issues. i recently changed rear pads, and rear driver caliper/rotor. i’ve noticed that when coming to a stop once i hit about 15mph i get what feels like a grinding/pulse in the brake pedal. also when coming to a complete stop the brake pedal isnt constant...

What are these bolts for? The one on the left is leaking oil. Seems like a bad washer / gasket but I don’t know. Secondly, before I took the fj40 on a test drive I noticed slimy yellow buildup in oil cap along with water drops on it. Is this normal or a cracked head gasket? The oil pan was...

Hey everybody! I have a few questions about my 1970 FJ55. I got this truck about a week ago, so I am definitely new to the whole thing. This truck has been sitting since 1996 so as you can imagine it is a serious project. I am still unsure on how invested I really want to be in the project...

Has anyone replaced the brake tubes on a 100 series. I got a quote for $1400. I was wondering how tough it is. I am struggling to find much information on here, but then again I am new to the forum. I see a lot of folks doing the break hoses but my lines/tubes are rusty. Another mechanic asked...

Hey all, I'm overhauling the brakes on my 80 and there's a ton of threads about mushy brakes that are difficult to bleed. I haven't gotten that far yet, as I'm still on axle stands waiting on a few more parts. However, I'm thinking ahead. One of the solutions I've seen posted is to delete the...

Long time lurker that needs help! I have a 2003 LX with 120k miles. All in all the rig is in amazing shape lexus dealer maintained until 95k all services performed. Recently I noticed that my brake pedal will feel soft on the first push then it will stay stiff like it should. I will drive for...

Just had a friend lose his brakes on his 06 100 (approx 185k miles) pulling out of our office parking deck. Luckily he had another floor to go before exiting so he rolled to a safe stop. I looked through a few threads and saw some good comments on the brake issue but nothing to set my mind at...

Here is my delima. Have a 94 LandCruiser, already upgraded and added ARB Front Bumper, Sliders, Springs, Camelback Toyota rebuilt the top half of engine and all that goes with that, new Radiator, PS Pump, Alternator, and Brakes. The issue is now when I hit the brakes hard, and I have had to...

Hello all. Apologies for a long post, but this issue has taken up many hours of my time (including reading hundreds of posts and links from here) and I wanted to be as thorough as possible in describing the issue and background. First a quick & dirty summary: my 2001 LC (~240k miles) has...

hey mudders, I have a small leak in my brake booster/ master cylinder. The resevoir remains full and my brakes work well. But I think it would be a good idea to rebuild them. question: does anyone know if the JDM HJ61 (or 61s in general) has the same brake components as the 60/62? can anyone...

Issue: My brakes (were done at Lexus dealership before I got the car) don't seem to bite hard when I press the pedal. The pedal is not low and the brake action is pretty linear but to get any significant response I have to dig in more. Interestingly, if I take my foot off and then press back...

I’ve been trying to get good braking performance on my truck since I bought it a little over a year ago. I figured I”d share some of this adventure in the hopes that it helps someone out. Obviously start by adjusting rear drums properly and bleed all four corners plus the LSPV 1. Brake...

The title describes my set up. Fj80 booster + T100 brake master + 4Runner calipers + Fj60 drums I put it all together and took it for a drive. It feels good for a bit then the brakes started dragging. About 10 miles into my drive I start down a large hill and smoke the front calipers. Small...

Hey folks, I'm selling the following brake line hoses. These are 5 of the 7 needed to extend your brake lines for 75mm+ lift. You'll still need to pick up the 2 fronts at the caliper. These are the brake lines referenced in this thread: OEM Extended Brake Lines w/ part numbers Toyota...

Hi all, I posted this forum a while back and the replies I got were pretty helpful so I figured I would try again . I have been on a budget quest to drive my mom’s old 94 cruiser across the continent again. However, recently, I noticed my rear driver side disc brake was getting scarred by the...

Update 5/2019: See Post #5 below for resolution of this ordeal. I've researched a few of the brake failure threads but this seems to warrant it's own as it is a specific sequence of events with a dealer service center leading to a potential failure. I have been driving my new-to-me '04 LX 470...
