My 2001 LX 470 is coming up on 185k miles. Lately when driving (foot off the brake) I can hear a "chuff chuff chuff" sound from the right rear of the vehicle, and it's speed dependent. When I push lightly on the brake it goes away. Then as I pull to a stop from about 15 MPH, I hear a slight metal groan from the same area. So I assume my rear pads/rotors/calipers/pins need some help.
I am planning on jacking up the rear of the car, pulling it all apart and putting new OEM pads/rotors/pins in it, lube the bellcrank, adjust the ebrake, blah blah blah. No big deal.
Then it occurred to me, I don't think the brake fluid has been flushed any time recently (and it doesn't look fresh). I have never bled brakes in my life, but I have the FSM.
Do I need to jack up all four corners simultaneously to do the bleed? Any recommended bleeders to purchase or ones to avoid (for the 100 in particular, if that matters)? Should I use my techstream? I figure I'll learn how to do it myself on the 100 and then when it comes time to do the Sienna I'll already have a clue. Thanks!
