brakes

Found this vehicle online, 1 1/2 hours away. No pics yet, talked to the salesman - fairly clean. But brakes are not working correctly. My daughter is able to look at it later today for me. Her husband is mechanically inclined. I have a '97, not new to cruisers. Looking for newer style, '97...

Any recommendations for best bang for buck brake booster upgrade? currently running OEM booster (i think) but running a front axle/disc conversion (poss 60series). About to do a frame off to sort the chassis and keen to improve brakes if poss. Any recommendations?

The brakes on my 2002 LX470 feel like they are grabbing or sticky . Just started a few days ago - before that they felt normal. Any ideas???

Is this just tediously difficult or am I doing something wrong. PO installed all cylinders on the wrong side - to tighten the cylinders I would start with the screwdriver angled away from the center of the wheel. I always adjusted with a screwdriver. I blew a cylinder, and decided to replace...

Driving home from work today when my brake pedal hit the floor with no resistance as was coming up to a red light. Fortunately I was able to swing into a different lane and slow down before the light. Managed to get home (last half mile safely. Checked my fluid and it was right on the...

I'm trying to resolve a myriad of braking problems with my '86 which has been holding me back from driving it more. One item I can't figure out, is that when I pump the brakes at idle, the engine RPM's drop to ~400, nearly stalling the engine. Any ideas what might be going on?

No one seems to have a clear, definitive answer for this: front left brake on my 1998 LX470 rattles like crazy. It rattles over ever single bump unless I've depressed the brake pedal. Now, here's the question...and I've gotten different answers thru google, forum search, the local LC...

So my poor baby sprung a leak in the right front drum and after talking to Noah Baldwin I think I've decided to bite the bullet and take the opportunity to convert to discs all around. Spoke to Noah and he said converting to disc is a great way to go. Mines a 1969 fj40 so he mentioned it would...

Was there a known problem with the design or something of the FJ60 calipers from the factory ? The reason I ask is that in my front axle work, initiated by a leaky and seized passenger side caliper, I am finding the driver's side caliper to have seized (but not leak) in the same piston as the...

So I had a heck of a time this month with my brakes; New master cylnder, new brake booster...turns out the shop accidentally put in ATF where DOT3 goes(flush drum accidentally filled with ATF by the supplier), causing 3 master cylinders to go bad. A shop in Moab (4x4 outpost) got me and and...

I have a 1970 fj40 with a June bulid date. I am now going to try and finish my brake system.i have up graded to the willwood front disc about two years ago . I removed the valve in the master cylinder when I did that . Recently my brake booster has bit the dust.I ordered one from city racer and...

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 have an 86 lj 70 with rear drum brakes. after driving for a while fast (such that it goes fast-:) the rear brakes (I think) click loudly when I roll back and forth after driving (car off). if I let the truck sit then it rolls fine in five minutes. I just did the rear drums and my mechanic...

just a couple simple brake related questions, firstly, I purchased a full "set" of 8 brake cylinders, they all have the same piston size, I know that originally had the fronts were slightly larger 1.11-1.12" , mine are all the smaller of the two sizes, .997". is this going to be a problem...
