1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Just a second person helps a ton

I had purchased that kit from HF that auto bleeds, fills, etc

Worked half as well as it should (the filling part), but bleeding sucked because no matter how you tried to seal the hose on the bleeder, it would still suck air as it pulled fluid

And this thing worked via compressed air

 

Two man bleeding is the most superior type of bleeding no matter what. Because even the pressure pot things are only like 90 psi. You can put like right around 2000 psi on everything with your foot

 

Lspv is the proportioning valve above the axle right? Think I already did make said nightmare scenario, yesterday lol

i just bled it, getting fluid at both drums and the valve with no bubbles. Pedal doesn’t feel right though

 

Its supposed to be cold all week, and then maybe more snow next weekend. Good time for snow wheeling!

 

With all the bleeding, you're keeping your brake fluid topped off right?

 

Yeah

 

I need to try out the Tundra. But I don't have a winch, so I will need to ride with somebody that does. The rear axle bearings on the LC left the chat back in November. I don't want to risk a mechanical failure somewhere far away from any road.

 

Replacing my master and slave cylinders today too, truck has been giving me a hell of a time getting gear cold the past few weeks. Will be a day full of bleeding, my least favorite activity

 

Just go SAS and full hydro, you know while you're in there

 

Yipeee! We are among the top 5 places for displaced Florida retirees to move.

Clutch feels great, first drive around with the new axle felt good. Got a new squeak coming from somewhere though :/

Is there a downside to the hose-and-bottle method beyond pulling old fluid back into the system?

 

You can't put quite as much pressure behind something if you have say a clogged bleeder or something. But other than not cycling fluid out no, it works

 

Just turn up the radio

 

I usually let it gravity bleed til new fluid is coming out. dump the bottle, put some fresh fluid in there, then do the bleed

 

How long does that take?

 

Yes

 

depending on how bad the system is I've had to leave it all night. On the Tacoma, maybe 30 minutes or less since I've had it apart like annually so the fluid never gets too nasty get it started and fuck off to do other things while I wait lol

 

with time like that you might as well have a Fumoto valve too

(but really, being able to take your time is great)
