Rust prone Tundras?
Well today I told my dad I'd replace his brake pads and rotors....03 Tundra
Turned into a nightmare.
The hard brake lines on both sides were so rusted out that they broke just moving the calipers off the spindle. After bending new lines, I turned the bleeder valves to start bleeding the brakes... BOTH snapped. Had to drill them out, and find new bleeder valves. Of course Toyota didn't have them till Wednesday. Annoying.
The calipers (13WL) are completely rusted. I had to cut the brake pins out, as they were rusted as well. Now it looks like the calipers are seeping brake fluid. WHAT THE HECK!? This is BS. I am so pissed off....
Anyone else have this problem?
