New clutch master/slave/hose replacement 1987 FJ60 - Stainless Hose??

[Zack1978]

Hi everyone,
I recently noticed that my clutch pedal seemed a bit softer than usual. I looked in the master reservoir and it was almost dry. I then looked under the dash and the master is leaking from the rod boot on the interior firewall.
I obviously need to change the master, but I will also change the slave and the hydraulic hose. I will order the Aisin CMT032 master, and the Aisin CRT021 slave (Toyota is out of their mind with the price on the master $261.46 list!!!!!). Aisin is the OEM manufacturer for Toyota so what am I missing with the major price disparity?

I can order an "upgraded" stainless steel hose from SOR for probably close to $60.00 by the time SOR charges their shipping charges or the Dorman hose ($8.00) (Dorman H77376). Is the SOR SS hose really an upgrade? Will I notice any real difference?


Thank you everyone!

No. You're pushing against a spring with your clutch pedal. SS clutch lines look nice, I got one (not from SOR) and seem to last but I can't feel a difference.

OEM is another option and you know that it will fit properly.

Very true. I will check out the price of the OEM hose.

Lot of places sell those stainless steel braided lines now, mana free, Merlin crawler, I use the one from JT outfitters

This is the one for 81 through 85 but they also have one one for 85 through 87. Just can't find it at the moment

Lots of places will make you a hose with any ends that you want, whatever length you need while you wait and generally cheaper than through the mail.
