Another Tacoma/Tundra brake question

Doing the swap and I'd like a little more info on how to handle the banjo bolt issue. The Tundra calipers I have look to need a flared steel line going into them. I saw mention of drilling the tacoma banjo bolts or a line kit available from Wheelers?

Any info on either would be appreciated!

Thanks!

 

Crisis averted! I found info on drilling the bolts! Worked perfectly

 

A person commenting on the video my buddy Sean and I made doing this upgrade on a 3rd Gen 4runner commented he successfully used the Wheelers Brake Line Upgrade Kit to use the Tundra Calipers on his Tacoma.

New brake lines will make another big difference in braking feel - I put stainless lines on my 2nd gen and the brakes feel way better. Worth the money imo.

 

Glad you got it working. How do you like the feel of the new brakes?

 

Mine had some pad rattling issues when hitting a sharp bump. Two anti rattle clips weren't quit enough to fix it. I found another way.

 

What was it?

 

4 springs from Ace Hardware to put some pressure on the pads. If i remeber right, some of the old 260 Zs were done this way. Also orange anti squell juice on back of brake pads.

 

I like the spring idea. I swapped 13wl calipers on mine yesterday and noticed quite a bit more noise when the brake pads clamp or un clamp from the rotor. Nothing horrible but i may try your little trick.

 

Also i used a wave washer and a regular washer behind clip. You can see it in the picture.

 

What is the purpose of the washers? Just to keep the pin from having too much slack?

 

Just to make sure nothing was able to rattle.

 

where did you find this info at for the bolt, I did the up grade and used the WL caliper and I had the banjo bolt and it screwed right on in, was I suppose to drill out the bolt or something please let me know Thanks

 

Do you have a leak problem at the banjo fitting?

no but I had to tighten the piss out of it, was a little scary

 

thanks ill do that tomorrow to be safe

 

Man I always thought I was the only one with that rattle. Whenever I go from forward to reverse or vice versa I could hear the pads shift. Same thing going over speed bumps.

I just put in another retaining clip per side (opposite of the original) and it seems to have stopped them from shifting.

Part number is 47748-60061

 

2 retaining clips help but didn't stop my rattle.

 

Did it sound like this?

yea but mine was more like a single clack when I would brake when switching from forward to reverse. Same thing with a speed bump.
