    Bleeder valve opened no problem. But the anti rattle hole pins are giving me fits. 2 hours and I've only gotten one of them out.

    I'm interested in these as well, but on their site it doesn't list the 05+ (mine is a 2011 and I'm pretty sure they are the same as the 05 and higher).

    Thanks,

    I didn't get a chance to pull the trigger on these yet, but I was going to call them first. I bled the brakes on my 2011 and they look like the same bleeders Toyota has been using for decades.

    Great idea @YOTA LOVER - I started about 2 weeks prior hitting bolts/nuts/bleeders with WD40 (although I hear blaster is better). Once I committed to doing brakes (I've the rear diff off & replacing leaf springs), I started first with the bleeders and 6 sided box wrench, with firm & square pressure. They came loose. Then went to the flexi line connector coming down to the rear diff/axle - open wrench, constant & square pressure -> it came loose. Then onto the brake lines into the rear hubs and an open wrench. They broke loose. Honestly should have have gone & got the brake line tool (5 sided with a gap to get around the line if I'm not mistaken). But this order allowed for me not to f*ck myself if I striped the brake line nuts at the hubs.

    Does anyone have the sizes for the bleeder valves - I'd like to change, but Advanced Auto online says "exact fit" for several with different sizes listed? Thanks!
