Can we try this method to bleed the brakes in 2000+ cruisers?

I saw this video on a 3rd gen 4runner. It is about upgrading the front brakes to Tundra calipers and rotors. The 01 and 02 4runners have traction control and VSC as 2000+ cruisers.

I find the brake bleeding process is one of the most complicated things in these cruisers, but this guy in the following video get it done in a very simple method.

Look at 3:18 to find how he makes it and 19:40 to see how it is used. Thanks Speedy's Garage!


Will this method work for us?

As long as you pay shipping and promise to send it to the next person in line with out much delay (I guess is a weekend job) I be more than happy to loan this "Pro unit Phoenix" (all free of charge) well maybe somebody can machine a very nice adapter for the brake cap..

Never us it on the cruiser so I did not build the cap, but this thing are what the pros use..

Lets make a list somewhere...

Oh I'm in SLC if somebody is local.

Looks like a plausible methodology but I would be very careful adding compressed air to the topside of the brake system. If you don't have an accurate regulator I could see creating problems with delivering too much pressure on the reservoir, seals or other internal components.

The mighty vac type Patino offered is prob the safer option

I would avoid this, too many things that could go wrong, and if you damage the pump or valve body you are out really big bucks. They only bleed the front brakes, that circuit is different than rear, so may not work well for rear.
Shortcuts pro shops have worked out and use, might not be something to try at home.
