F'd up while working on drum brakes. Help?

Nothing like that around here. I’m never more than 30 minutes from the beach, however I don’t think that could have anything to do with it... really not sure. Rain? Pressure washing? High humidity? I would imagine water that sits in there doesn’t dry up for a while.

 

This is what did it, yes. I was able to get enough of a grip on the cylinders without removing the shoes.

 

So we shall soon be helping u on how to replace wheel bearings

 

I'm past 40+k and on the front it looks like I'll have to replace them by summer's end or before I get to 60k miles.
This is the least miles I've ever gotten from any TOYOTA I've owned.

Either they don't make 'em like they used to, or I'm going heavy with the hammer on this bad bitch. I could have gone ECT drunk too.



Good luck
Cheers!

Im still getting bit by mosquitoes in my garage in Dec. They are attacking my face since its cool enough to work in pants and longsleave shirt without taking a sweat bath.

 

You’re the second person to mention rear brakes catching on fire. Are you fucking serious? How why

 

I have had serious issues with my local dealer over my drum brakes in the past to the point where warranty was denied and they told me to eat shit. Rightfully so or not, the whole “you have a 2017” card that many have pulled out sadly does not apply to my situation. They will find a way to deny me warranty coverage because of things that were documented in the past.

I made a mistake. Had I thought about it twice, maybe I wouldn’t have made that choice, but I screwed up and it is what it is. That’s the only way to learn in my book. Especially when you’re in a situation where you better get it fixed yourself immediately or you’re screwed. And no actually when I pushed the brake pedal down, there was a normal amount of pressure.

 

Actually, yes. Front driver’s side needs replaced.

 

Dam the days of cable ebrake, metal dash and interior doorpanels along with metal door handles are gone with the wind.

 

Yes sir, good to go.

Also, since some of you were concerned, just know I did drop it off at the firestone next to my office this morning and they took a thorough look at it and said everything checks out and bleeding was fine. They also topped off the fluid.

 

Lived there many years ago in place called stagecoach.

 

I'm gonna tackle my rear bearing doing it Ole' school with no press. Going to get dirty tough and personal with my 1st gen.

 

I mean, it’s my assumption. But when jacked up off the ground, the wheel has the famous back and forth wobble if you grab it at 12 and 6 o clock. The passenger side doesn’t move at all.

 

Had some of the best down hill solemn skiing there on uncrowded slopes

 

You aren't joking about that swim u took with your truck?

 

Judging by “1995 Toyota Submarine” I don’t think he’s kidding.

 

After we get those bearings replaced he has to promise to do 2 things to the truck. A snorkel. And 48's maybe bigger

 

A torpedo launcher

 

With 48" wheels you could have paddled for it to shore
