Figured I would give people BCM a shot before I Google it.

I have a Toyota forklift that needs so work. Mainly the brakes went out on it. There are no leaks on the floor where we keep it.

Does anyone on here work on these?

I've worked on a few at work. They don't seem overly hard to work on. Jacking them up can be a pain. I've found tilting the mast to the rear, putting blocks underneath the mast, then tilting the mast forward the easy and common way to do it. I'm actually leaning on a Yale I need to do some brake work to right now as I type this. I got the wheels off, that was kinda complicated. And Im not sure how to get the drums off.

I've done brakes on one.of our other small fork lifts. Not really any different than car brakes.
