    Does the current OEM star wheel adjuster for a 1983 driver's side rear brake drum, part number 47062-60011, have a 12 x 1.25 thread on it now ? If it does and I use it, do I have to also convert the passenger side to the new thread size (i.e. get the passenger side equivalent part which is #...

    Disc Brake Conversion Kits?

    Hello guys! I am looking to do a disc brake conversion on the front brakes of my 1973 FJ40. I've never done a disc brake conversion before. Where should I go for a conversion kit? (Everything included). What do you recommend if you've ever done one? Thanks in advance!

    How to Install Drum Brakes on 60?

    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.

    Brake Parts or Conversion for FJ43

    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?
