Hi All, Was just wanting to do my KZJ78 swivel hubs and brakes and was looking for an online manual or images on how to pull everything apart. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you are performing a front/rear disk conversation and want to get rid of your old wheel cylinders/hoses/tubes I will buy them off you.

EDIT: SOLVED! Brake pedal is firm and consistent. New master cylinder (to replace the old new master cylinder) and a cleaned caliper solved the mushy pedal and the sticking brakes (2 issues). Just had my brake booster replaced and I've noticed something where, when the car is first started...

* THE DECISION PROCESS AND INSTALL REVIEW -I bought my 2006 Lx470 with 140,000 miles and the brakes felt like they have been on there for as long as it has been driving. The brake pads where almost down to the metal and the rotors were as wavy as the mint 400 race course. -I was faced with...

I'm wondering if someone can point me to a link where there's a good tutorial on replacing worn rear drum brake on 60s? I'm comfortable with the front pads but not so with the rear drums. Braking is freakishly scary at best and am refreshing the system with pads, drums, new fluid, and brake bleed.

So Im trying to track down some brake problems. Here is the background. Since my axle swap I have been dealing with brakes that pull. The old setup was IFS with V6 calipers, master cylinder and dual diaphragm booster. Drums in the rear on a early taco axle. This setup worked perfectly for me...

This truck started out as a Supercharger and preventative head gasket install. Turns out the head gasket was already leaking and the head was really warped. Head is at the machine shop still being trued up. In the mean time we figured if we're going to make it faster, we should make it stop...

I'm in Costa Rica. Last year, drove up to over 10K feet to see a volcano. On the way down the mountain, the brakes got dangerously spongy. After a while, they resumed to normal brake feel and behavior. Contacted this site for help at that time. Was told that the likely culprit was old...

Doing front knuckle rebuild on 1974 FJ40. Obtained 1976 FJ55 front knuckles and calipers from mud member. Cleaned and painted knuckles, hubs, Aisen lockers and now ready to install. Rebuild kit and bearings from Cruiser Outfitters.

Hello, I have looked a lot and all I can find is front disc brake conversion kits which wont work obviously since 77's came with factory disc brakes. Anyone know where I can get some upgraded rotors and calipers? the stock rotors are shot and same with the calipers. Any help would be great! Thanks!

I have 1982 FJ43, imported from Columbia, and want to convert the front wheels to disc brakes. The stock drums are leaking fluid and are in bad shape all around. Does anyone know where to get either (a) replacement parts for the drum brakes, or (b) conversion kit to disc brakes?

Hi, I own a 1980 European version FJ40 with front Drum brakes. I need to replace brake pads and drums. My pads are 3" wide (is this the standard) and drums have fins. I cant find these drums. Cant I just use whats available in stores on the web? Thank you for all your comments....
