Economy Toyota Axle Rear Disc Brake Kit

**Kit fits 1979 to 1995 Toyota rear axles.
Note: This kit does NOT retain the factory type mechanical emergency brake.
Kit Contains: 2) axle retainer brackets
2) brake caliper brackets
2) brake rotor spacers
12) long wheel studs
2) short backing plate studs
6) M12-1.25x25 bolts
4) M12-1.25x35 bolts
10) lockwashers
Parts Needed:

2 Toyota front brake rotors 1983 to 1985

2 Toyota front brake calipers 1979 to 1985.

1. Begin by disconnecting emergency brake cable from the arm at the backing plate.
Disconnect brake hard line from the wheel cylinder. Remove the four nuts retaining the
axle / backing plate. Slide each axle / backing plate assembly out of the rear end
housing.

2. Remove brake drum.

3. Remove axle bearing retaining clip.

4. Using a press and the proper tool remove the

backing plate, bearing, and seal ring.

5. Press out the four backing plate retaining studs.

Three of these studs will be re-used so take care not to ruin the threads. The one that
serves as the emergency brake mechanism pivot will not be reused.

6. Tap the bearing cup out of the backing plate.

7. Press 6 wheel studs out of the axle and remove

tin shield / gasket from the backside of the axle flange. It is important to clean the
backside of the flange to ensure the rotor spins true to the axle.
8. This is a good time to replace axle bearings and seals.

Reassembly:

9. Drop the rotor spacer onto the axle as shown in the 6 photos above. Then the rotor
sits on the spacer; verify that there is no debris in between any of these components.
Drop in the supplied wheel studs. Supporting the axle flange, press the studs through
the assembly.

10. Press the axle retaining studs through the

bearing cup ( 3 previously removed and one is supplied)

11. Install bearing into bearing cup and slide onto axle. Then press seal ring into place.
Finish by reinstalling snap ring as shown above

12. The axles can now be slid into the axle housing as
shown above. The axle retainer brackets can be installed 8 different ways depending on
where you want your brake caliper to end up. Most commonly the caliper will install on
the rear of the axle with the bleed screw pointing up. Remember if the bleed screw is
NOT pointing up you will not be able to correctly bleed your brakes. Install the axle
retainer brackets over the axle retaining studs using original hardware.

13. Install the threaded brake caliper bracket onto the

axle retainer bracket using the three supplied M12-1.25x25mm bolts and lock washers.
Notice that the threaded caliper bracket sits between the axle retainer and rotor.

14. Now install the brake caliper with pads using the
supplied M12-1.25x35mm bolts and lockwashers. Reform your original brake hard line
and connect to the caliper.
15. Dont forget to bleed your brakes!!
