Kev_A Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Another one of these I'm afraid removed caliper etc. got the little hole with the grommet in down to the 6 o' clock position, got a large flat head screwdriver (8 x 150 was the largest I had) managed to find the adjuster (I think) but I can't get it to turn in any direction Any advice?

DannoSupra Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Try and hit the Hub/Drum area of the disc, should free a bit of crud off. Mind the wheel studs tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 On the outside face? Then do I re-try the handbrake shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Yes on the outer face, the adjuster looks like a cog. I cant find a pic for you at the mo sorry Edit - what Scott said too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Is your handbrake off? I have to admit, I almost put a post up a while ago when replacing the Rear studs, Only to find the handbrake was on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) I figured it out The handbrake was off, after a few squirts of WD40 and a little tickle with the persuader, I then "walked" the disc off, using both hands pulling from the top, then spinning it round, pulling a little more it eventually came off. Now it's all done Brand new 317mm discs Brand new CW FR pads Painted black calipers with Supra decals And that's it for the rear.....for now Got my eye on a pair of 2 pot calipers for the rear to pair up with the 4 pots I'm buying To finish it off I'll be fitting DO-LUCK brake lines and brake cylinder stopper then theat'll be the brakes all sorted Edited August 19, 2009 by Kev_A (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Is there a small threaded hole in the disc, towards the centre. If so, grab a bolt that fits the thread and slowly do it up. This should push the disc off as you do it up. Edited February 9, 2010 by Missile (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yup, Pretty sure there is two. If you find two bolts that fit, It would be better using them both. Good luck, it's cold out there and getting darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not for the supra, But simular. Googled it http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_change_the_rear_brake_shoes_on_a_1995_Toyota_Camry_4cyl 2nd answer down... Try just the bolt 1st, might slide of ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Use a small screwdriver that you can poke into the mentioned hole. It will be at 6 o clock and you need to rotate the disc to get to it. In other words you need to have the car freewheeling so make sure you are secure and level. Once you are at 6 o clock poke the screwdriver in to rotate the little grub. An easy way to tell if you are going the right way is to count the clicks on the handbrake for it to go tight, let it off, then turn one way and see how many clicks you get after doing so. If it is less you are going the wrong way, if it is more you are going the right way. Loosen the thing right off as the pads will have created a groove in the bore of the discs and will catch on the lip as you try to remove them (one new set of brake shoes required). Bingo bango.
