Tech Session
"FJ40 Rear Disk Brakes"
Dixon's ,Citrus County
First off, you need lots of supervision !
Put the rig on jack stands; a two person job ?
Remove the old brakes
Cut off the back plate: easier than pulling axles & unbolting...
Get area all nice & clean
Install caliper bracket, leave bolts loose untill all are started...
tighten the bolts...
Install disk & caliper
Don't forget the other side :-)
Almost done !
Connect the new line & bleed
We also did RDB on Jamie's FJ60 ! (Jamie is the one with the hair)
Same process...
Meanwhile, Eric & Sandy tune-up the 80
Hey lookie here, I found a drive shaft :-)
