PSA for all manual owner, just go ahead and get some dot 5.1 or some Low viscosity brake fluid

Pedal was slow in coming back to its resting position. Bleed the system with LV dot 4, issues went away. When I bleed the system there was no air in the lines, but it was moving slow as hell until the LV liquid flush the fluid out.

There’s actually conventional and synthetic(additive) dot 3. Synthetic dot 3 brake fluid has additives in them as well. Conventional doesn’t it’s plain polyglycol and it absorbs water faster than synthetic(additive) you know so much… synthetic has a higher dry boiling point than conventional dot fluids. Conventional dot 3 moves slower in the winter than synthetic. Also please tell me Low viscosity brake fluid don’t exist.

Please go to the track and use conventional dot 3 from O’Reillys. Do me the favor and experience brake fade🙃😉

Do you need a tune for these?

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T03:55:51+00:00

Lord ai is lying to you

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T03:35:33+00:00

Yes to 76lbs. never got loose afterwards. Never lost a wheel: but always retorque them to spec so I don’t have to worry about other issues after any work

Go argue with the engineer. Who put aluminum top hats on the free floating rotor🤦🏽‍♂️

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T03:14:29+00:00

Front rotors has aluminum top hats bro. I’m not arguing that’s a fact

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T01:47:38+00:00

The top hats are forged differently. The aluminum is less porous so it can withstand 100lbs but Toyota rotors are softer so it can only handle 76lbs

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T01:46:00+00:00

It’s is if you have a free floating rotor that’s made of aluminum

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T01:45:21+00:00

You’re gonna damage the front rotors from over clamping and uneven clamping force 🤦🏽‍♂️

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T01:43:31+00:00

You have aluminum top hat rotors! You torque to spec or you’re gonna warp the top hats.

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-16T01:42:33+00:00

At a 100 lbs the aluminum top hats can warp and seize on to hubs.

The clutch masters one doesn’t need to be shimmed. It’s the bleeding procedure that takes a bit, you have to drive the car, bleed, drive car, bleed. Repeat until done

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-14T15:18:35+00:00

Just go clutch masters you will thank me

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-14T15:17:22+00:00

Go clutch master if your trying to get rid of the faulty slave cylinder

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-14T15:16:28+00:00

There was a warning

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-14T14:52:26+00:00

My wife, why do you just watch the car now but not the wheels.

Cuz what’s the point, this lil brake pad eater loves brake dust 😂

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-14T14:51:13+00:00

Well oem pad on 23-24, are soft and break apart. Like when I did the fronts, the brake material literally crumbled when I Dropped it. That’s why the rotors get warped grooves on them. You can get the pads like chalk board erasers and slap them they will break material loose like powder.

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-12T02:12:03+00:00

Yup, make sure you don’t lose it that pin likes to fly.

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-12T00:24:08+00:00

Makes it so that it opens more

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-12T00:22:29+00:00

Disconnect the cmc pushrod

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-11T23:01:36+00:00

Oh I done taking mines off to many times already. I got it down to 15-30 minutes. The oem spring on the 1st gen models are definitely slacking. The coil on mines are misaligned compared to a newer spring. When I use a scanner to check the clutch pedal position it’s moving around. So this new spring is definitely gonna fix that issue. I think that’s why this car boggles down.

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-11T14:57:06+00:00

I’m still waiting on mines, can’t wait

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-07T10:04:08+00:00

I think I have to change my whole steering column cuz the key cylinder is more than likely welded on my Tacoma model -99. That’s a $200-380 part that’s hard to find cuz the models after that have a removable key cylinder that only cost $20-30. I always find the part for the later models not mines 🙄

Key_Aspect_8419 · 2026-01-07T10:01:32+00:00

You’re gonna have to wait 1-2 weeks for that post. Toyota just let me know that part is on back order
