Hello fellow Mudders,
I have an 8/1971 FJ55 with what appears to be the original TEQ wheel cylinders, 15/16" size. They were leaking so I purchased the standard rebuild kit which only comes with rubber boots, no springs or spring seats. Toyota looks to have sold a spring rebuild kit many moons ago, cannot find one available online.
My rear wheel cylinders have a mix of metal and plastic spring seats, assumption is the metallic are original and plastic spring seats are from a rebuild kit. The metallic spring seats are fine but one of the plastic spring seats (passenger side rear front AKA right rear front) has disintegrated. I attempted to order a completely new wheel cylinder (not TEQ but a Japanese replacement) from a reputable online resource, however the box was mislabeled and I received a right rear rear wheel cylinder (RRR) vs. a right rear front (RRF). I'm working with the company to return and obtain the proper part but we will see what happens.
Does anyone have a spare either metallic (preferred) or plastic spring seat? I have an FJ40 as well and didn't know if the years were compatible for the spring seats on the rear wheel cylinders.
Here's a pic of the wheel cylinder I'm trying to rebuild. Thanks fellas.
