I won the Toyota Parts Lottery! My front calipers were on national back order. 11 orders were placed, 10 calipers were sent from Toyota. I was fortunate to be one of the 10.

Ha! That is awesome!! I was talking with my parts guy about that. He told me about the orders, which is why I opted for the new! Congrats on the win!

By the way, I forgot to post the after picture of the rear overhaul! It stops wonderfully now.

Looks great!! How does it stop? Any issues getting system bled?

 

[rolliges]

Stops awesome (compared to before (everything except pads and perhaps one fluid flush was from factory 1997)), but as others have noted still softish.

Gravity "flush" while messing with hoses. Activated ABS with the relays once before flushing (not bleeding). Two-person bleed on the corners. Didn't mess/bleed with Load Proportioning valve at all.

Stops in a strait line, hands off, going downhill. Very nice.

Calipers, lines, banjos, washers, new lspv, showed up.
Dropped the ball on ordering fit/shim kits.
Is the fit kit 04947-22050 cover all 4 corners?
If I'm going with 100 series ebc pads up front any reason to order the shim kit?

 

[NorCalFJ100]

The anti rattle plate and fitting kit is different from the rear. That part number is the rear fitting kit only. I'd buy that for sure.

Rear shim kit is 04946-60010
Rear fitting kit is 04947-22050
Front shim and anti squeal is 04945-35040

Is there a link to the process to activate the ABS for bleeding?

Is there a way to trigger ABS actuator to combat spongy breakes?

Truck info: 1994 LC with ABS So after some brake work (Caliper replacement with pads) I had spongy brakes. Wasted good amount of brake fluid trying to bleed them. I suspected that Air was trapped in ABS actuator but short of buying the SST tool or driving on Ice I did not see a way to trigger...

Be careful with this process. I made the harness and activated the solenoids for about 5 secs at a time. I think it was probably on the third go when i noticed the smoke coming from the ABS area. Something was overheating very quickly. I think very short pulses is all you need but to be honest i think i got more air out by placing the truck on jackstands. I had her up high enough to leave a wheel on in one corner at a time. This provide enough imbalance to activate the ABS enough. I got a lot of air out with this method and some horrible looking brake fluid.

Can you elaborate on what these parts are? I am replacing all four rotors, calipers and pads. Should I also be ordering these parts? And what exactly are they for? Thanks.

 

[NorCalFJ100]

@bicycleagent003 These are a combination of the metal backing plates that go on your pads, the wear indicator clips and metal clips the rear pads slide on. It's really quite nice if everything else is new, that these parts are new too. Small price to pay when you've invested so much in everything else.

These parts provide a slick sliding surface for the pads as they are held by the calipers. And a shim on the back of the pads that eliminates rattling, etc. You may be ablen to reuse what's on there as they are stainless steel and don't rust, but cheap enough to just get them and freshen everything up reliably.

Wait... you can still get the LSPV new? Pic of what's included with a new unit...

Just the valve, Patrick.

@greentruck, @NorCalFJ100 - thanks for the tips. I'll order those up. I've never worked on the brakes on this truck before, so I appreciate the suggestions. Cheers!
