 Abstract The first series, 90-91, of the 5th gen 5SFE powered celicas (ST184) utilizes rear drum and 255mm front disc brakes. Later model celica brake parts will bolt right up. Brake spec info
For 5SFE-powered Celicas: Front: Complete calipers Brake Rotors Rear (essentially the whole knuckle detached from the strut): 1) calipers 2) rotors 3) caliper brackets (usually easier to detach these with the calipers from the backing plate) 4) backing plate w/ e-brake assembly 5) hose (soft line from caliper is different from the drum brakes) 6) O-ring (must replace when removing hub to swap backing plates) 7) L and R brake cables. (deatch from under the car . The cable must be turned 90 degrees, so it is in a straight line with the bracket's length, and the slot cut into the upper portion of the bracket. The posts at the end of the cable can then be pushed up, with the cable sliding through the slot.(see diagram)) Everything bolts up. Literally. Procedure is as follows: 1)Jack up and support car 2)Remove wheels 3)Disconnect e-brake cables from car 4)Disconnect brake hoses from car 5)Unbolt spindles from suspension arms and strut 6)Bolt up new spindles and new brake hoses and e-brake cables 7)check isntall of pads and rotors and adjust e-brake if needed. 8)bleed brakes 9)Put wheels back on car. 10)Lower car and test drive   Submitted by xxx@******.com Revision 0 Article submitted on 30 Mar 2010 Viewed 11104 times |
