Yea Congrats.

Might have to rush out and get a copy asap.

I fully bleed the system and gave it a flush no air in there now . the pedal feels alot more responsive now than b4 not sure if that is just the pads or not.

when i bleed it the nipple had no way to suck air in...the hose was fill of fluid and whenever it was opened or closed the gf was pushing on the brake pedal. definitely no air in the system. Thanks for your concern...definitely dont want air in the system.

Yea got it all sorted havn't been for a real good drive yet so see how they r real soon

Ok i feel like a real noob, that was the nut that the bolt screws into........

Got them off and on again no trouble, i put some bendix brakes so hopefully they are good...

Cheers everyone

Yea the bolts are bloody tight, so just undo the bottom one do i have to hold a spanner on the inner nut?

Yea i am just replacing the pads. cheers ill try again soon.

Hey, i have decided to replace my own brake pads and i am trying to undo my caliper bolts but is there a locking nut as shown in the pic below.



Also after reading the Haynes manual it said to push the piston back first...is that wrong? i pumped it out through the bleeding valve aswell. will i have to pump it back up to make it easier?

Cheers in advance.

welcome,

Got any pics?

Update: I got two cv's for $26 each and tried to take the old ones out. couldn't get the old ones to move out of the hub and its so hot with 100% humidity I didnt have the patience to nut it out so took the car to the local mechanic and the old cv's had seized in the hub. It took their big hydraulic press to move it out and it only just pushed out.

What I saved on the cv's is going into labour but hey it happens.

Cheers for all the replies. I ran into an ex toyota mechanic today and he said CV's are a piss of piss but he said i will most likely have to take the axle out ill do abit of ringing round tomorrow. Its also good cos if i get into strive he will come and help me out.

Yea luckily I can borrow the olds Prado if i get in trouble with it. Il drive round a few places tomorrow and have a look.

Again cheers.

azian_advanced im in New Zealand so it might be hard getting the boot here but cheers anyway.

So i guessing you are saying that it is quite involved. Im about to ring toyota and see how much they reckon it will cost.

stetsonaw probably a good suggestion .

Hey 95 I agree grease gets everywhere. I can get a hold of boots as well but i think the right hand side CV is now abit buggered. I noticed that the car started to act a little weird under power mainly when turning and i believe the CV is the problem.

Surely someone on here has replaced a CV before.

Looks like I might be doing a how to on this.

Thats what i thought. Yea its not OEM tho ill get a hold of toyota tomorrow and talk to them.

Is it a mission of a job and do I have to take the axle out. Anyone have a step by step how to or anything. I have the Haynes manual but its not really talking about my model as its more american and it says something about drive shaft length and it varies.

How hard is it to remove the CV from the axle?

Cheers for the comments so far.

Any help would be great I can pick up a CV joint for ~NZ$55. I will find out the OEM price tomorrow.

Just jacked the car up for a service to find that I have torn the right hand side outter CV boot and the left hand side has cracks and looks like it may tear soon.

Is it worth replacing the cv on the rhs or just the boot? Is it a big job? I shouldn't need to replace the axle will I?
Ill get photos up soon.

I searched but could find anything that helped me. Im sure someone out there will find what im after but i tried.

EDIT:Spelling

Hey a South Islander.

F**K ME that is one hell of a Spoiler on her.

Welcome.
What part of CHCH are you from?

Reviving an old thread

Mine is real original "Sally".
Just popped out the other day driving down the island as I went to over take a car seemed to of stuck.

A little Shark I caught a couple of weekends ago. Didn't get any photos of the 6-7 footers we also brought up. Bit of fun till we ran out of tackle.



Im in the middle not that you can really see me . Cathedral Cove on the Coromandel. Apparently one of the top 5 Beaches in the world for snorkeling and diving.

I to cannot wait for this movie. it just me or does it look like its going to be a lot darker movie than the first?

Yay for Megan Fox.

Hey,

I probably wont be able to make the meet because some s**t has hit the fan in my life and im heading back to chch in feb.

To all the Auckland people PM me so we can organize some time to meet up. I have been on the coromandel since xmas but would be keen to try and meet up now im back.

Hope you all had good holidays.

Wow you are gorgeous. (trying not to sound creepy)

Its real near the filter, if you can fin one you will find the other.

I use castrol magnetic.

With a seat like that is it still possible to use normal seatbelts?

I would suggest getting a K&N panel filter and just putting it in the box the gains will be more noticable than a pod but will still have the sound I believe.

My girl friends father got 2 red stags (not big heads) from the house across stateway one a couple of days ago feeding on the barley crops.

About a month ago dad got a 8 point fallow stag.

HAHA, im sure i will pass lol.

Hope the gt4 is going well.
