    Hello Everyone,
    I'm hoping to remove the ABS actuator from my 93 4Runnner with rear ABS. I already unplugged the rear ABS sensor on top of the differential, the ABS ECU, ABS relay, and the ABS actuator. What I want to do is remove the actuator and reroute the brake and power steering lines. I was able to get the brake lines but not the power steering lines.
    I wonder if anyone knows the part numbers for the pressurized power steering hose (from the PS pump to the PS Gear) and the return line back to the PS reservouir. I know there were trucks made without ABS but I can't seem to find any information.
    Thanks for the help.

    Update:
    I finally removed the ABS actuator, took a good day to get everything out since I needed to get crowfoot wrenches.
    For the brake lines, I ended up using a brake line to connect the two ends. (Like they did on this thread - https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...needed-256837/) Just need to bleed the brakes.
    For the power steering, I got a the pressure hose online from https://www.autopartskart.com/ for $48 (including shipping). Its a Gates #370040 for anyone that is looking for one. Also replaced the return hose using the most of the original hardware.
    However, I managed to break the power steering air control valve. Since I've on quarantine due to a positive COVID test I wasn't able to go get one from the junkyard, and I tried to glue the the pieces together using JB Weld. Yet I think it didnt work since it started spewing black smoke and the idle was below 500 RPMs.
    Gonna go look for a used air control valve tomorrow and hope that does the trick.

    Still trying to figure out how to get all the air out of my brake system. Bleed all four wheels, LSPV, and master cylinder...still my brake pedal sinks to the floor and if I brake quickly my rear wheels lock up. I wonder if this is related to the removal of the ABS.

    Did you figure out bleeding the brakes after removing actuator?

    I had really make sure the connections where well connected and then bled them 4-5x times. I started with the rear passenger wheel, then LSPV, rear driver, front passenger and drivers side.
