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...

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?

Last year, Terrain Tamer launched a family of high performance brake products for Land Cruisers - from late 40s through 60, 70, 80, 100 and 200 Series - along with FJ Cruisers. During 2016 we saw many installations in all of these vehicles and more are going out the door to our partner shops...

I'm new to my 80 and need to replace the rear pads and rotors. Do I need to disable the ABS system before starting work on the brakes? (some vehicles requires this, some don't) I tried to find this info via the forum search, but didn't find it. I also don't have time to get a FSM in my hands...

I was coming down a hill today when suddenly, my brakes decided to do a partial fail. Buy that I mean that I still had brakes, but the pedal has no feel at all until I hit near the bottom of travel and I have about an inch or so of pedal pressure. I did a quick check, I have fluid and all of...

Expeincing an abs issue on a 97. Here's the scenario. Stopping from about 20mph, My brake pedal initially has what feels like higher resistance than normal, but flutters a bit and doesn't seem to really want to stop the rig, then it goes away with more foot pressure and works as normal...

I recently parted ways with the body and frame of my parts car (1975 FJ55), and now have these complete axles left over. Willing to sell them complete or in pieces, just let me know what you're after. Uber-reasonable pricing. I'd prefer not to scrap them if people need parts! Buyer to pay...

So, my e-brake light is turning on randomly. At first I thought it was just the electrical circuit issue causing the light to indicate that the e-brake was still engaged although it was not. But some research how now shown me that the e-brake light indicates the e-brake being engaged, brake...
