Builds colonel mustard, in the garage, with a wrench (2 Viewers)

[asu4runner]

I don’t think I’ve ever waiting this long on brake rotors. New ship is the 28th, so not much longer. I have it my best shot rebuilding the calipers, however there was just too much corrosion and i could not remove all of the pistons. I could not locate oem (I’ll assume NLA) so I went on a limb and ordered new aftermarket, and Tran just put the Toyota parts I had on them (pads, rattle springs, pins) . Chunked the warns in the parts box and ordered longbody hub asco’s , they look great. Replaced kick vent springs.. because I can?
brake pads 04465-35170
Rattle springs 04947-60050
Pins 90240-06158
Bleed plugs 47547-20030
Bleeder plug caps 31478-30010
Cylinder rebuild kit 04479-30031
And kick vent springs 90508-16029

AScO s are sexy fo Sho

 

[Greek Cruiserhead]

Indeed a sexy hub. I guess it's a 30 spline unit. Do they are AISIN identical?
Any part number for the ASCO hub please?

I’m assuming those are the old long bodied ASCOs, rare locking hub. IIRC they came to the states only on mid to late 70’s FJ55’s, the 40’s came to the states with drive plates that were swapped to Warn hubs at the port. I got lucky when a buddy smoked a birf and went to CroMo and the later shorter Aisin hubs. Love mine, love what you are doing with your ride. Color is not bad either

I won’t lie, I’m doing a lot of learning right now (lots of forum digging). My experience has been mainly with minitrucks. But from what I’ve found out you are correct. These trucks were shipped stateside with flanges and outfitted with warns at dealerships and ports. I called warn looking for a rebuild kit, and was told they are NLA, I don’t care what the websites say they’re wrong lol. I ordered several rebuild kits and none of them fit the hubs I had. So I talked to a mud member and found out city racer gets these special longbody asco units. My donor axle is a 78 so your years for the long birfs makes sense. Side by side, the new birfs are about 3/8 inch longer than my course splines.

I BELIEVE asco is aisin, “aisin seiki corporation” maybe someone can verify that for me.

 

[Greek Cruiserhead]

Great!
What about its part number?

Thank you mate!

 

[wngrog]

If I remember correctly @cruiseroutfit had a run of king body ASCO hubs produced

 

[asu4runner]

So I decided it best to just get a new master rather than remove the res. Valve from my old crusty one. After some digging I discovered what many of you already know, Advics division of Aisin makes all the brake parts for Toyota. Then I found advics is a vendor on rock auto. So I bought a new oem master cylinder on rock auto for 150 bucks. And I don’t want to hear you nay sayers, it literally has the TEQ stamp on the side of it. Might help someone out in the future. It does appear that they tried to destroy the TEQ logo with a grinder though, I wonder if it’s a copy right issue.

 

[Greek Cruiserhead]

Today I discovered about Advics too!
Thank you mate for your input!

And installed. Used a hand tubing bender to curl the old brake line to fit the new master. Bench bled using old lines cut down with some vac hose feeding back into the res. I also started removing things from the back frame member in preps for my 4plus tire carrier. The rear sill is by far the worst spot on the truck. I also ordered some ubolt flips from them when I ordered the tire carrier (single swing arm driver side carry).

 

[asu4runner]

I was so excited to see that my rotors and brake line arrive today, that I left work early to put it together and hopefully go for a drive before the sun was gone. I was very happy to realize I have never ordered the cone washers needed to install the aisin hubs I decided to switch to from the warn style. Womp womp. Anyways, enjoy this disk brake porn. So close to being on the road again.

Care package from @Coolerman showed up so I fixed the random wire mismatches with the proper plug ends. Also got her legal. Heard from Dave over at 4plus and my tire carrier and ubolt flips arrive tomorrow so I will have a fun weekend slinging some wrenches. In the spirit of working on projects, I also just finished installing a nice set of marlin 4.7 gears in my 4Runner tcase and slapped it back in with a pretty new budbuilt crossmember.

I see you replaced the Sweetwater County license plates. I wonder, if know the previous owner?
That is devils tower in the background of the plate.

I know him through the sale. Names Nathan.

Todays projects are fun. Half of my tire carrier arrive this morning, unfortunately the other half has yet to show up. I replaced the old drum brake booster with a dual diaphragm model from racer. And bled the brakes hopefully for the last time. Moved on to the deteriorating gasket on the wiper motor cover. And then started tinkering with the old Toyota CB I’d like to install.

Do these stock hoses-96920 32255 (great pic you uploaded, by the way) cope with the suspension lift?

The soft hose goes from the axle housing to the brake backing plate, so suspension lift is not a factory. The oem hoses work great.
