I have a 1990 toyota hilux that i am currently putting on airride,and the Load Sensing Proportioning and Bypass Valve is directly in the way,is there a way to remove it? ive searched but haven't found anything
Mine was bagged with it still on the truck for 5 years. Finally when I did my full brake line tuck in the engine bay last week. I did just like these guys did
That tee was part of the LSPV, I just cut it away & ran new lines. You may be able to use the existing lines ,just might have to cut,& reflair. Remember that the flares are double ( all Japanese vehicles)!
I was up under there looking at this setup last night.. Not trying to undermind your deal but it doesn't appear that this fix was thought through.. there are 2 lines going into the prop valve from the master, one leaving to the axle. 3 lines total. Have you ever lost a wheel cylinder? Or had one that leaks? or maybe rubbed through a brake line that starts pissing brake fluid everywhere? Well, if you do, and your truck is set up like this, you will lose all your brakes. VERY VERY bad situation.. My recommendation is to cap the line in the rear that's connected to the passenger side front brake line tee either in the rear by the prop valve, or up front at the tee. The other line coming from the rear brake port on the master should go to the rear brake hose coming off the axle. This way, if you lose a front, you can still stop with the rear brakes or vice versa.. The way it's routed with the tee in there with your picture, the front and rear brake circuits are tied together. not a good idea.
Indeed I've always made plugs on both ends of the line that goes back to the front. Cut, fold and weld the steel brake line and screw it back in. Works like a champ. Granted it's not a neat and clean but this was always on wadded up wheelers with raisin bodywork so it didn't matter. If you look at other toyota vehicles in the junk yards you'll find lots of straight through junctions to replace the T in the rear and 90's to replace the T in the front.
