Changing Ae82 Twinky Front Struts

[Toddski]

Hi All,

 

Replaced the rear shocks/springs in my AE82 Twinky last weekend, this weekend I'm going to tackle the fronts. Any hints or tips?

 

I think I need to disconnect the brake lines to swap in the new struts - anything I'll need (besides an assistant to help me bleed the brakes after)? I think I remember reading somewhere I'll need a new compression washer? What brake fluid should I use?

 

Cheers,

Todd

Use Dot 3 in most Toyotas.

 

Instead of disconnecting the brake line, cut a slot in the bracket that it goes through.

 

Cheers, Rob
