I’d had a quick look at the front brakes a couple of weeks back, but as the weather’s so nice I decided to take a proper look. Turns out the front discs are not quite the shape that Toyota intended and a bit too thin for my liking, so a new set of discs was ordered from Milners.

Also while performing this inspection I found that the front wheel bearings had a bit of play in them. This isn’t usually a problem as they’re quite substantial taper bearings and usually just need the preload resetting. As such, a couple of new locktabs and nuts as well as a 54mm socket was ordered. You need the socket anyway as the hub has to come apart to get the disc off, so I’ll inspect, repack and reset the bearings at that point.

I’ll stuff another post up as soon as that’s done, and hopefully a video of the procedure too…
