60 Bell Crank…use one from a Gen3 Runner? (1 Viewer)

[CenTXFJ60]

So I’m building a full float and one bell crank is jacked pretty good. Went into my tote full of brake parts and came across a few disassembled ones. Then I found two with “99 4Runner” tags on them. Recalled an axle swap I did on my sons Runner years ago. Looking at them they looked identical except for one notch by the adjuster. Uses the micrometer and all dimensions are the same. The throw is the same. Hook and adjuster land in the same place. Part #’s are different on the housing but the rubber boots have the same part #. Mounted it and fits. Gonna load it on the axle and see how it goes. Did not do any research (and not going to), so apologize if this is duplicate information. Will post up if for some reason it does not work.

Works fine.

Experience with aftermarket parking brake bell crank.

I was reading some other Mud threads about the always-corroded parking brake bell crank and I thought it would be good to share this information that I came about when I did mine a few months ago. 1 ) The Dorman Parking brake bell crank kit from Advanced Auto, which supposedly only fits some...

Cheap kit, too:
