I need to replace my rear wheel cylinders on my 71 FJ40. The rear axle is actually the front axle from an early Land Cruiser and has the large 1 1/8" cylinders. A couple questions:
- Since I have discs up front, and the large cylinders in the rear tend to lock the rear wheels up, I'd like to change over to the normal 7/8" cylinders normally used on the rear end of 71 - 80 FJ40's. Does anyone know if the backing plates / brake line setups are the same for the front and rear axles making the cylinders interchangeable?
- Since the rear axle is actually the front axle off an early 70's FJ40, what's involved with converting to discs? Is the Monte Carlo procedure the same?
- I suppose if I got a cross reference to the rebuild kit for the 1 1/8" cylinders, I could just use a rebuild kit, and put a proportioning valve in.
Any votes? Suggestions? Insight? Thanks in advance !
