I don’t think I can get to the brake calip
they just put brand new calipers on
I looked at the receipt - there’s a lot but nothing about a drive flange. Too bad they missed it - seems like it would’ve been easy for them to fix while they had the truck
Thank you for your post

I was expecting to be driving rather than sitting. It is a shame because man does this engine run smooth with the new plugs and no oil in the plug tubes.

it broke
they then fixed it
haha. No I mean why do you think it broke again 30 miles later ?
because some kid younger than the truck did the work, who has never seen a solid axle toyota, and didnt do it right.
thats my best guess.

The seller said he had just had the trans rebuilt - is there any chance things were reassembled improperly and that’s why it’s breaking ?

Thank you and that really was funny btw. Needed the laugh.
if you buy a 25 year old vehicle that wasnt really popular when new you either need DEEP pockets or learn to wrench. sounds like you arent going to fix it yourself so i highly suggest you find a cruiser shop to do the work. its going to be expensive but you will get it done right. i have no idea who all is in your local area but ask around. they are odd balls that need some special stuff.
There are 13 California based LC clubs on the Forum. You gave no location information, so I assumed California.
Yes, the brake ca
There isn't a lot there. But have pointed him in some directions. We have some local guys that possible could assist, but no real "cruiser" places here even.
I don't see the flange part number listed.
Now that you mention it I don't either. Thought maybe it was on another page. That could be the issue. Worn out flange still.
I'd be willing to bet that Jeff McConnell was still in diapers in 1997.
He PM'd, I tried to explain the removal the best I could. Thank you for backing that up.
