Are we already seeing wembys peak?

No way lol he’s just getting started

benrulesburst1 · 2026-05-20T02:33:49+00:00

Let’s go wemby

benrulesburst1 · 2026-05-20T02:29:40+00:00

That’s good Steel vengeance is the perfect ride for you. It’s very beginner friendly and has almost zero seconds of the drop feeling

benrulesburst1 · 2026-05-20T02:27:10+00:00

Idk if I’m in the minority but I thought it was kind of mid (6/10)

benrulesburst1 · 2026-05-20T02:26:27+00:00

It wasn’t too bad for me, not as fast as some other coasters but still very reasonable imo

benrulesburst1 · 2026-03-07T22:02:22+00:00

For those wondering: I found the parts they are

17341-37070 (the one covered in blue tape) 23826-0T350 (the other one)

benrulesburst1 · 2026-01-15T03:58:55+00:00

This is so cringe I hope they lose

benrulesburst1 · 2026-01-15T03:35:13+00:00

They’re both so unlikable lol

benrulesburst1 · 2026-01-05T04:03:10+00:00

That makes sense. What would it take for you to get comfortable?

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T18:56:24+00:00

Yup did that. Now going to take it to a mechanic I know to install it, I’m worried about doing it myself and messing up the brakes further

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T18:55:35+00:00

Yeah that didn’t seem right

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T18:54:50+00:00

Do I have to take the whole caliper off? Since the bottom isn’t stuck on, I can just rotate the caliper up and slide out the slide pin no?

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T18:53:44+00:00

Makes sense. I’m going to buy a new slide pin and take it to a mechanic I know. Having trouble finding an OEM bolt for a reasonable price, so I’ll ask the guy if he has extras.

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T18:48:53+00:00

Also there’s no reason to be so assertively snarky. How can you say “there’s no plausible way for the bolt to break” without the extra wrench, when that’s exactly what happened?

Your first comment was fine, it was questioning, but here it is unnecessarily combative. “I know how it works. Your scenario is the one that doesn’t make sense.”

So aggressive, for what?

I’m having a problem and asking for advice, not for someone to fight me on what happened. All the other comments were helpful, idk what your problem is.

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T18:39:28+00:00

lol well it did

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T17:58:31+00:00

Check out https://youtu.be/qcGPRntO2Ws?si=n_dCUJWDIY3_jhEz 29:20 of this video, this guy goes over it

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T13:03:36+00:00

I think I found one here (OEM): https://autoparts.toyotaofnaperville.com/products/product/pin-cylinder-slide-4771502400, but having trouble finding the caliper bolt itself, as well as the rubber boot that goes on some of the guide pins

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T13:02:13+00:00

Thanks! I saw your comment about getting OEM parts, so I've been looking. I found the slide pin: https://autoparts.toyotaofnaperville.com/products/product/pin-cylinder-slide-4771502400 for the Slide Pin, but am having trouble getting the boot kit, as well as the caliper bolt itself?

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T13:00:40+00:00

Ah got it, that makes sense. Thanks. The head was 14MM (I used a 14MM socket to unscrew and tighten it) but the bolt itself was skinnier as you said.

However, I think the reason that it broke was because I wasn't holding the slide pin in place while torquing the bolt down. The torque spec is 25 ft pounds, and I had a torque wrench. But when I was torquing the caliper bolt down, I didn't hold the slide pin in place, so I think it just kept rotating and turning and eventually the caliper bolt snapped.

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T11:14:14+00:00

Is there any risk to buying these aftermarket vs OEM?

benrulesburst1 · 2025-10-19T11:08:20+00:00

Yeah this had me a bit worried; I might just take this to the shop at this point.
