Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully got your rig all set now!

On the rear LEFT- disconnect the shock strut and swing it away, that little extra exercise will save you so much time and frustration/swearing. From a previous person unknown, My left lower caliper bolt came out eventually and thank the lord the bolt took much of the cross threading damage, again because the bolt was hampered by the shock, just F it outta the way. Happy days (caliper removal task only)

Great video's Clay!! I just got a 1996 Land Cruiser on Monday and have been watching all of you video's. Mine has 140K miles on it and will be doing my front and rear brakes in the very near future, and your video's will help me do it my self. Thanks for all of you video's!

That’s awesome. Still have mine and still big smile every time I drive it. I’ve changed my rear brakes out once again since this video was made. This last time I pulled the axles out and repacked the axle bearings as well. Was a good service. I got about 38k miles out of the EBC brakes. I think I had them engaging too strong as my front to rear bias valve never was re adjusted after my lift. I went back with Power Stop pads and rotors this last time.

Just watched the end of the video where you explained the star direction, thanks! Say your son should be off from college for the summer maybe you guys can team up like old times for that fuel filter replacement that you mentioned is still sitting on the shelf. Will be watching...

Thanks for the video. I've went through 3=4 sets on the front and getting ready to do third set on rear since I've owned it. I did the fronts once myself. This will be my first time doing the rears myself. I thought you had to manually back the rear calipers in instead of pressing. I've had to do that on some other rear disc vehicles. That's why I pulled your video up. Great video Thanks.

great video because i have not done the brakes on a 4x4 before so this helped me associate with what and how of these trucks cheers .. oh and if you undo the lower slider bolt you should be able to do the brakes without removing the entire caliper .. i may do that as a video myself in the near future but for now cheers again

Pretty good video...did rears on my 96 lx450 today; however, watching around 10:00 to 14:43 I don't see how the hub comes off. I needed to replace my hub assembly but on the 96 lx it looks like its held on by all six nuts on the back of the shield? Suffice it to say, I just put on pads but please expound on how the hub comes off. Also a piston caliper tool really helps in compressing that piston back, mine wouldn't go back with the ol' 6" C Clamp and board trick. Oreilly's $9 dollar twist handle crank plunger style did the trick. Had a few grooves in my rotor so I'll have to revisit as it will probably eat my pad up...but I'm quiet and all no scraping. LOL.

@Texasknowhow

+rdietz68 Okay, the rear hubs also house the e-brake shoes which push out on the inside of the hub and that's how they hold your wheel from turning when the e-brake is applied. You have to often use a little tool and loosen those shoes up before the hub will pull straight off the lug studs. Watch the video at 17:45 and you will see a little star wheel that you can turn through the hole in the hub to loosen the shoes some (see 25:23 in the video to do this). Obviously you can't have the e-brake pulled and on! and you will also have to have the entire caliper off. Lastly, at 32:15 in the video I use a piston compression tool like you describe. Hope this helps. C

when you are pushing the piston back into the caliper, use the old pad between the piston and caliper tool. Makes everything much easier.

+Rupert Gaznabbi Hello Rupert! Yes, we are all fine, thank for asking. For the fuel filter, I've had a replacement on my shelf in the garage for over a year! I need to replace it and I do need to video it for you guys. it is located up under the intake manifold and very hard to change from reports on forums like ih8mud.com. But it is doable without removing the intake. I hear you will get fuel on you and it is not fun. Much better design on the 100S LCs. If I get to mine soon, I'll publish a video. On the inner axle seal, I've heard mixed reviews on both the aftermarket ones and the factory replacements. I really think either will work and the problem is probably with the methods folks use to get them in there and depends on if you get it straight and don't damage it in doing so. This is also something I haven't tackled yet. I think you will be okay with either seal set. Just take your time and read up on the methods folks have used on ih8mud.com. Good to hear from you, sorry I didn't help much, take care, Clay

Steven, I haven't done the rear axle bearings yet. But last time I did a tire rotation I checked the play and they have some. I will first try to adjust the bearing preload (very similar to the front) on the axle as it is a full floater. If that doesn't feel right or correct the slack, then I'll video the bearing replacements. Should be in a few weeks if so. C

Hmmm.. mostly nice video. I was doing overhauling of brakes of VX 80 1993 and enough of brakepads left and material on discs but.. caliber pistons/cylinders was 60-70% stuck and some of them specially in rear rusty and destroyed. Change both rear pistons. But.. Very important. You should never push the pistons back in without checking the status of them. Never. That's because within the rubber seal there can be dirt and even bad rust. When you press the pistons back in as you did in this video, specially with tool like this of yours, you will damage the inner most seal and your calibers will leak.. on rotors etc.. And.. If cyls have start to rust, most simple thing is to replace them, not repair and or clean them.. they will rust again because the chrome "film" is the rust barrier..

@bjarnieinarsson3472

7 жыл бұрын

Ok.. no prob.. I must have missed that part in the video.. But to my best recollection the piston seems to be rather stiff inside the caliper as you did press it in with your tool.. that's sign of dirty one or at least dry one.. It's possible to gain access to the cyl by moving the harmonic rubber seal front of the piston to clean it, I myself prefer to put wisegrip on brakehose (as mildly as I can) to block it, and then disassembly the caliber and then the cyl from the caliper fully for proper cleaning and close inspection. I use air to pop it out with help of towel around the piston etc.. Lousy braking is mostly related to "stuck" or stiff cyl in caliper.
