The front disc brakes and rear drum brakes are good now. I still need to adjust the parking brakes. It’s an older 97 Tacoma. Lots to do.

    Having a drum brake tool makes it a lot less unpleasant. And take a picture of the setup before you start if you don’t have a detailed diagram for that particular setup, because they differ subtly in ways that aren’t obvious until you nearly have it all back together.

      Remember, cars always have extra parts inside that aren’t really needed when you reassemble. /s

        You always have to remember, you know how to build an engine better than the engineers, and those bolts were complete overkill.

          It’s true. They design them to be over tolerance by like say 150%, so if I leave a few things out that’s still probably over 100%. Math checks out.
