thanks, Thanks, I bled each enough to get the install done, then took it to a shop to power bleed the whole system as I believe there is moisture someone in there. Cheers.

Yep, try to find a pal, even a dog might be better than doing it yourself! here was my setup the other day (see pic). I had the wife inside the truck pressing the pedal in the slow/full method.... 0. Uncap master cylinder and top up Dot fluid. 1. Open bleeder. 2. Tell wife to press pedal...

Check out KMVreter's post Lol, i'm doing both fronts' in the morning and asked whether I can bleed after each replacement or install them first then bleed the system. KMVReter has a nice writeup of rebuilding the caliper if you want to go with that approach. I have no issues with replacing...

Hi guys, I'm replacing my front calipers again tomorrow (have all the parts ready). Quick question, can I bleed each caliper after it is installed, or do I need to replace them both and then bleed the whole system? I can only do one side at a time as I can't lift the entire front up. Any...

Ahhh, corrosive winters with defective design! I'm heading out to Napa tonight pick up a replacement set of WH calipers as I am doing a yet another replacement (thats four calipers within five years). In all cases, the inner lower piston is seized, just as what happened to you. Absolutely...

Yes, the document indicates it is moly fortified (molybdenum disulfide). You should be good to go!

Wow, sorry to hear that! I always spray some PB Blaster before working on these exposed parts as the salt here makes things utter hell. Your best approach would be to use PB Blaster or something similar, and let it soak the remaining bolt for no less than 45 minutes before having it tapped...

Hey Ian, It's not fixed. I did my CV's in the fall, and went to do my brakes but couldn't as both inner/lower pistons were seized again (sent a complain to Toyota Canada regarding this, as it is the second set to go in under 2 years). I've been asked to go back to the dealer to swap out the...

Prior to replacing my CV joints, I had (and still do) a persistent whirring noise which changes pitch/frequency based on the speed I am driving and and angle the front wheels are turned (noise goes away in sharp turns). I noticed while replacing the driver side CV that the joint had play...

I recently had both inboard cv boots rip, and did not catch it soon enough to re-boot, so I decided to replace the CV's yesterday (I was hoping to do a re-boot to get a better understanding of how to disassemble and reassemble, as I am hoping to do a long travel conversion down the road). I've...

Bootyfister, never thought I would ever call anyone that (lol), I replaced the front calipers and rotors about 18 months ago, and certainly have no more than 20K (miles) on them. I have noticed that the rotors did not bed well, as the surface is rough (possibly the EBC pads did not like the OE...

Hi guys, I've searched this forums and glanced at some videos on you tube regarding the issue I am experiencing, where I am getting a sort-of roaring noise that changes with speed. The faster I go, the faster and more roar I get. It started happening with the heavy winter tires on, so I...

Not really, as they would still rust. GMAN714 indicates there was a service bulletin, so clearly they were defective. This area is hit with a good amount of rain/slush/salt, so it should be galvanized or stainless. Two years in and the Chicago screws are still holding.

I believe it's to do with the colour of the headlight inner trim. The sport is darker than the Limited (or the other way around). I don't believe there is anything physically different that may hinder an install. Both my lights arrived in good condition. Some PlastX help revive them. One...

There was a small opening on my EBC rear rotors that allowed me to tighten the parking brake, as I only noticed it was extremely loose well after my pads were bedded. I did not want to remove the rotor and throw off the bedding. I am assuming that the rotors you've installed on the rear should...
