Funny this came up in my search for dealing with these. I have that Cruiser now (BJ73) and am confounded on bleeding these calipers - 4 bleeders per caliper and you can not get a wrench on them. And since two of the bleeders are pointing to the sky they are packed with dirt. Lovely.
There is no reason to crack the bottom bleeders. I know to bleed the inboard bleeder first. An 8mm socket fits but one can not put a hose on the bleeder and open/close it. I did it by packing rags all around and just spilling dot 3 everywhere. What an absolutely stupid design.
Now I am searching for pads and have no idea what part number to search from SSBC.
Yeah, me neither.
And BTW, if I need to rebuild these I dunno what parts I need or if SSBC-USA even would have the seals since SSBC OG went out of business before restarting as a supplier of brakes parts for US brands.
I do have the part numbers from TLC4X4 and believe they may have been the old SSBC o-ring nunbers.
So gurus - what should go in their place on a BJ73? 4-Runner Calipers?
(Yes - I realize this is the 40 section.)
