Montero XLS 2001 ABS Grinding/Screeching Problem

Sorry, I think my last post might have been rather confusing, here is videos of the problem:

Noise from engine when pressing on brake pedal:

An interior view on what happens when I press on brake pedal:

This is what happens when I simultaneously press on the brake pedal:

This is the cylinder that rattles when I brake, I'm assuming this is where the noise is coming from:

-If anyone can let me know how much it cost to fix this problem, I would highly appreciate it, thank you!

I just strarted having that barking noise, it is the hydrualic break accumbulator. It was replace on my montero in 2001 and now 12 years later i needed a new one. It screws on and off like a light bulb. Rap a towel around the base before unscrewing it to keep the break fluid from wasting on other thing. Remember to pump breaks 40x or more before removel to get all fluid out of the accumbulator first. I had no noise afterwards problem fixed, cost $163.00 tax included from the dealership. :):wink:

This solution worked for me. EXACTLY. Do just what DanTheMan said to do. Go to dealer and buy brake accumulator. About the size of a baseball/softball. It screws in/out, just like a lightbulb.

I got a quote from a shop that said they wanted to replace the ABS computer AND the brake booster for 2,160 dollars. They were quoting the booster as 500 dollars and three hours labor.

It took me 20 minutes to drive to the dealer, 10 minutes to buy it, and 20 minutes to drive back. Then took 15 minutes, START TO FINISH to do the work.

It then took an additional 30 minutes for me to drive to the shop and show them what I did, and how much it cost me for the part. Let's just say the politely thanked me for the "update", however we both know I was going to get taken for a ride.

Dan - I would gladly send you $50 dollars via PayPal for the great videos. Thanks a lot, brother!
