50 years ago I did a lot of my own maintencence based on what my Dad taught me. Then the job and family caught up and I outsourced most of my vehicle maintencence. Now at age 71 I cannot remember much of what Dad taught me. And that is a damned shame.
I have a 1985 FJ60 with all the bolt on stuff: ARB bull bar, winch, 7 ft Wilderness roof rack, rear spare swing out plus ladder bumper and a 4" lift. Has the original engine and trans and runs well.
I got busted up 2 years ago and had not driven it much. Now when I drive it it seems the brakes suck. The pedal is hard and it flat does not want to stop.
My fuzzy troubleshooting memory of a hard brake pedal is the vacuum booster is bad.
Already checked, the booster is NLA from Toyota.
I'd appreciate any and all advice on how to troubleshoot and correct this problem.
And yes, I did a search so stuff that smart ass response.
Regards
Jim
