Doesn't anyone have a link or document on the procedure to replace the front rotors for a 1994 L/C? I want to see if I can change it out myself. Also, looks like people are happy with the series 100 brake pad conversion. Is there anyone who didn't like the conversion?
Here's Jim Phillips page on repacking the birfield - check his writeup and the links up to removing the spindle/dust shield and you'll get a good idea.
Yes..., there's and excellent one out there by Toyota. It's called a Factory Service Manual (FSM) .
Seriouly though, I think this is a job you should have it for, due to the instruction for setting pre-load and some other things. You might be able to get all the info. you need by scrolling through some old threads and piecing it together, but it would pay for itself on this job alone. If you plan on having the rig for a while and are going to do any work on it, you will want to have it.

Jim's write up gives a pretty good explanation and how-to on setting the pre-load (right from the manual, in fact), but I agree that the manual is a very good investment for the future.

The one other thing the FSM gives you that I always find extremely helpful (especially digging into an area I haven't been before), is the exploded parts diagrams and pictures.
The tech. writeups and advice given on this forum are also extremely helpful, especially in this area. But I know we'd all agree they are best used as supplemental information to the FSM.
