Any good write ups on Flushing the breaks?

Sweet.


Just make sure you practice the flaring before you do it. Your first attempts are going to be horrid. I honestly recommend buying a several foot section, and just doing one after the other.

Other than that. Looking good!
 
Well I guess I should update. This project has been a nightmare. The brake hoses were very hard to remove even after PB blasting them and taking a torch to them but I did get them loose eventually( good luck not rounding off your nutz, I found a vise-grip to work best, f a 10mili). The passenger side went on quite quick after finally breaking the seals on them. The drivers side was where sh*t hit the fan. The top of the brake hose broke free quit quick after PB blasting it and taking the torch to it, but the end closest to the caliper seems to have been cross threaded by the factory at production. I seem to think this b/c once I did finally loosen the fitting it would come to a point where it was nearly off but not quite, and would just spin on the threads and not move down them anymore, so I resorted to cutting steel brake line that is closest to the caliper to get it out. Now I'm waiting on the steel brake line that toyota had to order since there were none in town.

So I am delayed till tomorrow. This has turned into a PITA.:roadkill::smashputer:






NONE in town. Seriously??? Sucks! You will get there!

Yeah I used your method that you initially posted with the one man bleeder, you have been quite helpful. Don't scary me now, what the f'ing bejesus is flaring? Are you talking about bending the steel line? It should come already bent. Stop trying to give me the hebbie jeebies...
