Landcruiser rear brakes

mickdw · 2012-02-10 17:47:28

As Ive no idea what type of handbrake system is on the landcruisers, I dont know if the rear calipers are push back or wind back? Have a set of pads to put on the back so Id like to know if I need a wind back tool. Its a 03 onwards landcruiser.

I am 99% sure they have a drum type arrangement inside the rear disc for the handbrake and as a result the caliper pistons just push back.

I hope I am right now! We do look after a few of those Landcruisers but I don't usually actually do the work on them myself. I don't like working on 4x4s in general so I usually delegate the jobs on those

Ya, fairly sure they have the inboard drums built into the discs and that the calipers just do the footbrake

Yep, did them today. Push back, no issue.
