Rebuild the brakes with Montero calipers and pads

DIFFICULTY 2 / 5TIME ≈ 2–4 hoursCOST Parts-store calipers and pads

Symptoms

Pulling, sticking or seized rear calipers (a common Delica Canada thread), or a failed safety inspection.

The fix, step by step

  1. Owners report that 1994–96 Montero front calipers bolt on.
  2. One fitted Montero rear calipers to a 2002 L400 and found the brake-line port angled slightly differently, so fit the upper caliper bolt before connecting the hose.
  3. Match the hose port on any rebuilt caliper to your old one before you return the core.
  4. One owner used Raybestos EHT 530H front pads on a 1995 PE8W.
  5. Bleed the system with fresh fluid afterwards.
