I am going to be doing a brake job on my Cruiser. Front and rear. Will also be attempting to replace the front wheel bearings while I'm at it. My Cruiser has 162,000 miles. I bought it with 110,000 a little over 4 years ago from original owner. I have a very detailed maintenance history from Toyota because it was mostly dealer maintained as well as receipts from other places like a battery and a set of tires. I have not put new brakes on it and if I remember right from the receipts the last time it was done was around 90,000. I'll look when I get home to confirm that. The bearings we're done once at 62,000.
I've read through a few of the threads on bearing replacement and think I can handle it. But I see in one of them that someone mentioned @2001LC has a YouTube video detailing the process. Can someone direct me where I might find that? It would be a big help I'm sure.
Also. I have ordered brake pads and wheel bearings from Cruiser Outfitters. Should I plan on putting new rotors on it as well? They have never been replaced. However the truck has no symptoms of bad rotors like pulsating like I've dealt with on my Toyota pickup and my tundra. Wouldn't even know the brakes needed changing except when I took it in for an oil change they told me they were down to 3mm.
