Brakes Front and Rear

[Roadbuz]

I appreciate all the suggestions everyone has shared and "Jax", thanks for the offer, but stay at home as YES the weather in our state is too

cold and rainy. Anyhoo, we now must put the trike on hold as a problem has cropped up on our car. Last evening, my wife was coming home

from a meeting and a car in front of her either hit something in the road or something fell off it and my wife ran over it with the right front

wheel and heard a loud bang. She pulled over, as she could and heard another bang just before she could stop. She thought is might have

blown a tire, but that wasn't the case. She grabbed the flashlight a saw the plastic inner fender liner had come loose and tried to reaffix it

and tried to slowly drive home. All seemed ok until another bang happened on she saw more debris spitting out the rear of the car. She

stopped again and saw the inner liner had come off and she walked back a few yards back and found it shredded completely up. That was

not all. She started the car a began the final 5 miles home, when the brake lite, VBS and ABS lit up like a Christmas tree. We now msut

have the car towed to the dealership, luckily we have AAA, but the car is out of warranty. At least we have my truck to

get around in the meantime. Another worry is "they say, it comes in threes". Will keep y'all posted as time allows.

Just a little info on Stallion Brakes. Both TomG and I have replaced back pads. TomG yesterday pad a metal on metal scraping in the rear. Right rear pad completely wore out. Replacement pads FORD 500. NAPA says rotors are from the same application. TomG may jump in here and add what year 500. The rear caliper pistons are a pain to reset. Because they also control the emergency/parking brake the pistons have to be turned in. There is a tool available at auto parts places that looks like a cube with each side having a different pattern of tabs to fit the pistons to turn them in.

If you get to the point where TomG is the piston adjuster may have turned out enough that it has come completely out and they are a devil to get back in so you can put new pads in.

SUGGESTION change your rear pads every 25K miles.

The front pads are very straight forward. The application I found for them is a TOYOTA 2012 FJ CRUISER. Maybe other application but I know these work. I changed MJ's out at 35K but they really didn't need it. Better safe then sorry though because we were going on the long trip. Guess only maybe 50k wear out of the fronts. Be conservative and change early to save the rotors.

The pads are for the rear of the Toyota but the FRONT of your Stallion. I changed MJ's rear tires from her "08" mid last year just because they were 8 years old. They still looked like they could of gone another 40k but the age and that is my life partner, so I was not going to take a chance.

I did not want to begin another thread on brakes. I am looking for the rubber "bushings" that go on the caliper sliders on the front brake. I have visited O'reilly and they ordered a kit which had an assortment of brake parts, but when they came in they were too large. I wonder if anyone has ordered these bushings and could post the part #. I am posting a link to a picture of what I am talking about, but these are not the Stallion bushings. Thanks.

Many import cars use a slider pin type bushing like that

Check with a Toyota caliper yet?

just a question where's Master cycl for flushing the brake system under the trike ?? or under the hood.

^^ What he said. When people call in asking location I explain it this way (a bit crude, but works!). With the seat removed just behind the evap canister on the left side is a hole that will give you line of sight to the master cylinder & fluid reservoir. If you imagine a passenger sitting on the bike, the "hole" is where your left leg would meet your cheek; look straight down (having a light helps) & you will see the cap for the brake fluid reservoir.

From underneath, as far as front to back of the bike, it's beside the transmission tailshaft/front u-joint area. Left to right it's just to the left of the frame of the bike (the cruise cancel switch is beside it, blue/white switch under bike with the 2 wires on it).
