Front Caliper Replacement 4th Gen 4Runner

[@mercurials54]

Started replacing all brakes and rotors yesterday, one piston on driver side seized up. Replacing it today.

Sounds about right, seems like the 4th gens have that issue. After doing some research, people usually do a 5th gen upgrade. But should be smooth for ya, as long as you don't have a bunch of rust lol

@@SlothKingGarage my old V6 was from the rust belt 😣 found a clean V8 here in the Seattle 😁

@@mercurials54 I'll trade you my V6 for that V8 😉

Nicely done

Shouldn’t you bleed all the brakes when bleeding? I’m about to do this job but with all 4 brakes,rotors,and calipers

[@SlothKingGarage]

If you're replacing all four or if you haven't bled the old fluid out in 3+ years, then yes. But if you're just replacing the fronts and the fluid is still fine, then you just need to bleed the front calipers that you replaced

hey , did you solve the spongy brake feeling with the upgrade ?

[@SlothKingGarage]

@@ALVAROJOAQUINCOELLOGARCIA Mine felt pretty firm, but that was because the caliper was seized up. Afterwards, it feels like a normal pedal. Firm but soft-ish

I've upgraded my 4th gen to the 5th gen - lasted about 8 months and have the same binding problem again.

[@SlothKingGarage]

Dang, even the 5th gen upgrade?? My passenger side is starting to act up. I'm starting to think that maybe some of the lines are compromised
