    Does anyone near you rebuild them? Usually you can get them stainless steel sleeved and re kitted. Makes them better than new.

    Also, it is worthwhile pulling them apart and getting them honed because if they're not bad just honing and new rubber will see them work again for ages.

    how about a complete(disc-caliper-master) setup from an LN20 hilux(we still have heaps of them here)? Provided the wheel stud pattern is the same, is it a straight swap or does it require a lot of mods?

    maybe try for a disc brake setup from a later crown. your wheels should still fit

    I thought the Hilux brakes where for a 40 Series
