Residual pressure elimination
Customer car 1970 Demon street/strip.
Just installed a new manual disc brake conversion brake kit from The Right Stuff. Front brakes and master cylinder. Installation was smooth. *** Only propo valve in system is a manual for the rear brakes *** Retained rear drums Bled system several times via gravity, back bleed, then pressure bleed. The front calipers retain pressure, thus dragging the rotors. I crack the bleeder, a little spurt, then the rotor turns freely. Pump the brakes a couple of times and they lock up until I open the bleeder to get that little spurt. Calipers are plumbed direct from M/C into a T then to each wheel. Rear drums do not lock up. Any ideas ? The Right Stuff is now owned by Restoration Parts Unlimited and they offer zero tech assistance on their website. |

Off the top of my head: is there a proportioning valve, and was it set up correctly? Archer |

Is the piston in the master cylinder releasing all the way? Just wondering if the rod on the brake pedal needs to be shortened a little.

I Agree with five points..... Also double check the flex hoses to make sure they are not working as a one way check valve... If that's all good I would say you have to remove or change to a lower residual valve setting.
