    Yes. No. And I'll look at it. I'm inclined to exclude the master cylinder. It's almost brand new. And it wasn't a rebuild. Lastly, it was working fine right before all this.

    Not saying it couldn't happen, but I'm looking at what evidence I already have.

    Been searching around for this bleed ABS Actuator process, does anyone have anymore info or a video showing this? I have techstream and would like to attempt it. My brakes never felt the same after disconnecting my two rear drums to pull axles out when doing my re gear. I’ve bled the lines the traditional way many many times. I’m wondering if air might have travelled up to the abs actuator and got trapped inside.

    Where is the abs locator located on the vehicle? Is there an actual bleed valve on the unit itself? Or just bleeding at the wheels following along on Techstream? Anyone whose done this process before care to chime in? 2019 DCSB SR5 V6 AT.

    Good info, been needing to flush the system but have been waiting for to replace brakes as the same time and install the longer brake lines. By chance what brakes did you install for the rear, not to take away from this thread?

    Awesome. Do you know which part # to get for the 3rd gen Tacoma disc and drum brakes or thread size. I’ll poke around and dig it up if not just figured I’d ask.

    Of course... was just curious if anyone has done it wanted to share their experiences or problems they encountered during the process. Any reason the directions repeat what looks like the same wording and steps multiple times over? Just for each wheel maybe.

    Thanks

    Just performed the Techstream brake bleed process and got a few more air bubbles out of my system. Took three people tho as my TS is on my desktop in the garage. I use a 25ft active usb extension cable to the truck. Had wife on TS, neighbor in the cab on brake, and myself opening and closing bleeders. Took us about 15 minutes. Not too bad.

    feels pretty good. These trucks are hard to tell kuz when engine is on u can depress the damn thing so far if u hold steady pressure on it. But braking nice and feels good so far.
