had a full wheel bearing and rarer drum brake rebuild done by one of my mates and we shot this how to video, might be useful if anyone is getting stuck into this. My mate Richard used to work with MH motorsports in the rally championship in Uk and he knows some handy tricks.
Made the msitake of NOT driving my '82 FJ60 often enough.
Discovered that the ebrake wasn't releasing properly, and seemed to be causing the drums to drag.
Decided that it might be time to look at the drumbrakes. Been driving the rig for almost 40K miles, and it's coming upon 210K total. No...
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 #...
Hello, I am in need of a rear axle (rusted through diff) for my 95' and am able to get one off a 91' with drum brakes.
My question is, if possible, what would be needed to do this swap?

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!
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...
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...
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.
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?
