    a bunch of new/used parts....and some skids.
    Thanks @Mush Mouse

    I was going through the bedding issue a while ago and when my mechanic bled the brakes for me he adjusted the rear brakes so they would bed correctly.

    The rotors are new, drums are new too and so is the hardware (lubed only the points indicated on the install sheet)

    I'll pump my brakes up and see what happens. If that pedal drops this time around I'm going to toss a new master cylinder in there asap.


    definitely heard the same thing about using a new OEM MC. blasted things are expensive!

    I mean it would not hurt to put in a new master cylinder if u can verify its definetly bad before u go to all the trouble, http://www.customtacos.com/tech.old...6toyrm/06toypdf/06rmsrc/rm2006ta/04200510.pdf

    @Mush Mouse Have you ever installed a new master cylinder?
    Anyone else?

    After bench bleeding and installing the MC can I push each pinston inwards in order to force the bubbles immediately next to the MC fittings out?

    Any other methods other than bleeding each at the screw?
