Video on relaxing rear brake shoes Here is the video. I did a part 2, where i show where exactly the screwdriver and tool should be with the drum off, but apparently I fat fingered it and got 3 seconds of video. Will have to do that a bit later. Hopefully this moves me from a classic Forum...

Here's a picture or two of the layout... Attached is the passenger side brake, except the photo uploaded keeps flipping it upside down no matter how I upload it.. So you have to look at this rotated 180, sorry!

Got both!! Gang thanks for the help. I tried the advice with a thin screwdriver and got both adjusters to back off and drums slid off! Drums were in great shape, They had just enough of a tiny lip to catch both brake shoes. Anyway, I made a quick video of the tools I used and did a demo on the...

Thanks Thanks guys will try it again, it helped with the hints on where to put the screwdriver, that is what I needed. If i get it. I will post a picture or two to show the operations for future drum mechanics

91 4Runner, SR5, 2WD, Auto, 3.0L , 3VZE, A240E I have watched every YouTube video with the words "4Runner brakes" on them and could not find what I am looking for. Same with searching the word "drum" in the classic forum. Challenge to forum experts: provide a video, pictures, or just better...

Thanks Guys all points taken. Apparently the VZE 2gens have a Mass Airflow Meter, not a Mass Airflow Sensor like later models. The difference is that the later MA Sensors use heated wires, which really need that CRC spray to keep clean. This 2 gen MA Flowmeter has a vane/flapper that just needs...

Team, new owner of a 1991 , 2WD, 3.0l, 4runner, 3VZE. Giving it the forum recommended tune up and std cleaning. Lots of posts on this site about how the MAF is a regular cleaning item, using CRC spray. Took apart my MAF... Here is picture. Is this plastic probe the part I want to blast with CRC...
