Thank you for the write up. I couldn't see the pics but the instructions were easy to follow.
Pads were easy to pull out and change and noticed a big difference. Local store had Bendix out on special a few weeks ago so did all 4 corners, done in just under 2 hours.
Cheers

This needs to be put on your regular maintenance program. Remove the rear discs, check pads and handbrake shoes, clean with brake cleaner or water, NO COMPRESSED AIR, re grease the adjuster nuts and reinstall.

Possible dumb queston ahead.... why no compressed air Rusty? what's the theory
Haven't done my own brakes in a couple years (Prado won't need for a while yet) but in the past i'd squirt around with the blow gun. what am i doing wrong?
cheers

I'm up for front brakes again. I can't track down the front caliper bolt torque specs. If anyone has them or the parts diagram that shows the torque spec can you please post it up.
