Disc Brake Machining On Vehicle

Hi Bob, yeah I have on the prado floating front rotors as Ive heard them been called. I was also wondering about that situation compared to the one piece type setup. Must admit I didnt realize that there could be a rust issue but makes sense now you have mentioned it. I was abit wary of doing the job myself due to the traction/stability/abs set up on the prado. But have been told when I push the pistons back to open bleader valve so that Im not putting any pressure on the system and chance of damageing it (3g's worth apparantly), and also when bleeding the system dont push the brake pedal down too far, just give it short pumps that way the pedal wont go any further then normal and chance stuffing any seals ?? I have done heap of pad changes before but not with all these gizmo's. Might ring the mobile bloke and ask a few more questions about the ""adjustable head"" your refering to and see what he says. He did tell me at the time when I asked him that he had done heaps of prado's ?? Didnt think they were all that bad with warping discs ?? Not knowing how the previous owner was on driving (some people extremely harsh on brakes) thought mine was only one of a few ?? Regards steve

Hi Mainey, does your vehicle have floating front discs or the solid one piece type ?? Refer to reply above in forum as to my concern. Regards Steve

Wherehegon,
they are the old fashioned solid one piece type :-)
