Hi all,
Never worked on brakes before but found out my rear caliper is stuck.
Watched videos on YouTube and took it off the rotor.
I opened the slides screws, they look clean inside.
Pushed the pad against the piston with a 9" C-Clamp, worked.
Started the car and pumped the brakes until ABS...
Free to good home:
I have this from a repair I did on my LX570 years ago. My daughter has it now, and since she's in Dallas, there's no chance it'll get used.
My daughter and SIL have a new-to-them 99 100 series-- one that I found for them down here in AZ. They were out driving around Utah (Hobble Creek Canyon to be precise) and started to hear some noises coming from the driver's side front brake. So I am now trying to help them out from 600 miles...
Hey folks, in a bit of a jam where I need to order rear calipers from Amazon and deliver asap. Can someone confirm that tundra rear calipers interchange with lx570?
My dashcam captured this today after I made a left turn. sounds like it is coming from drivers side front. Then it suddenly stops after a final ‘kah-chunk’

is this a sticky brake caliper or brake plate rubbing?
Do we have a list of bolts that need re-tightening over time that may not be touched during routine maintenance? I’ve heard of people snugging up the valve gaskets bolts and checking the caliper bolts. Are there any other major ones out there?
The truck is pulling to the right after getting the upper and lower control arms changed (OEM) and aligned.
The truck is stock aside from a set of 33 inch Michelin ltx at2’s. I took it back to the shop after taking delivery of it due to the truck drifting to the right.
I read in other threads...
When compressing the pistons to install new pads, some of the boots got folded out/unseated. I tried sticking it back down but couldn't get it all the way. Perhaps I need a different tool. The best thing I could think of that I figured wouldn't damage the boot/seal was the small red tube that...
During re-gearing to 4.88, the mechanic informed me that my brake pads, calipers and rotors need to be replaced.
Since this is a 20-year old car (production date 02/2002), might as well refresh the whole parts related to braking whilst it's opened.
Hopefully, these parts list & numbers will help...
Was wondering if anyone noticed any problems with atrac handling the larger front gx460 calipers installed on a 470. Seems the larger pistons require more slightly fluid to move -- does this create any noticeable change in how the atrac computer manages wheel spin up front? Less effective or...
Hi, I am repairing my break caliper. The cups/pistons have ceased due to rust. I pulled the cups out. The sides of the cups look ok with minimal pitting.
Someone advised me to sandpaper the internal bore of the caliper (where the cups/pistons sit) to remove any rust. Is this ok to do? and how...
I’m replacing my rear brake pads because one of my lower slide pins wasn’t moving freely enough, resulting in excessive outer pad wear. I bought new pins but the ones with the bushing still do not want to slide very well.
I should mention that I cleaned the inside of the hole very thoroughly...
With regard to the front brake calipers specifically, do you folks thing factory standard rubber flexible brake lines or SS braided teflon flexible brake lines are better for regular driving with probaly 80 pct on-road and 20 pct or less off-road?
I run std rubber flexible lines front and rear...
Hi Everyone,
I've got a '91 73 series and am trying to go from a 16" wheel to a 15" and put some larger tires on. I have identified a wheel with a sufficient offset to accommodate the wider wheel and larger tire while preventing the combo from hitting anything. However, as the photo (kind of)...
Hey Guys, (and Gals)
I'm at my wits end, :bang: I've searched and searched and troubleshot everything I can think of and I still can't track down what's causing my front right caliper to lock up at slow speed stops.
here's the skinny...
it never locks up at speed
never locks up when...
Hello. Does anyone know a part number or where to get just the rubber dust boots for the rear brake calipers? I can only find it in the rebuild kit. I do not need anything but just the dust boots. Any info or if anybody has any extra they want to sell let me know. Thanks!
