Hello all. I’m new to the forum and LC’s overall. My 4Runner was getting a bit cramped on camping trips so I picked up a 2001 LX470. I tackled front and rear rotors and pads this week and learned LC’s are a bit different than my 4Runner
. I decided I would flush the brake fluid after, and after failing at doing it like any other vehicle I’ve done I was back here researching. I’m still having an issue getting fluid to come out of the drivers side rear caliper. I got a 1/4 cup out and nothing has come out since. What read to do was turn the key to on, let the pump prime, press and hold the pedal down and bleed. Passenger rear worked fine. I tried removing the key and Turing back to on and still nothing out of drivers rear. Proceeded to do the front with key in on and doing the usually 2 person method (press and hold, open bleeder, pedal to the floor, tighten bleeder, repeat) and all went well. Could there be a clog in the system or am I missing a step? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
