 Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Nice! I'm sure you are going to like the results. Makes a huge difference.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed If your old ones are the stock ford hubs I'm looking to buy a set.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Justin, I'm coming from drums so I have all of that. If you need anything from that setup let me know. I have the spare hub from disc setup but the bolt holes for the wheel studs are a bit wallowed out. If you can use it, it's yours. I think you have my number.

Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed I think he meant the locking hubs.
How were your drums?

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Ah, I had a set of warn on there before and one is in pieces.
Drums are in good shape. One spindle /backing plate is bad as the threads on the spindle are wrecked.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Latest in the saga, I can't get the fronts to bleed correctly. Backs go quickly. The fronts just keep pushing air. I've used a small bottle and almost two large bottles of fluid. I can't imagine there is that much air in the system. Ugh.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? If yes then you have a leak in a fitting somewhere that is allowing air to get in. Check the tightness of all the fittings.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed I'm using the stock master. I realized I didn't check for the residual valve. I'm going to do that today. Then I'll re-bleed the entire system starting with the master. Just want this done before the cold hits tomorrow.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Verified there is no residual valve. Can someone either confirm my setup or tell me that I'm an idiot and have the calipers on the wrong side? Here is a pic of the passenger side.  I thought the bleeder valve should be higher than where the hose connects but maybe I'm off on that thought.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed They look upside down. The hose & bleeder should be on top.

Re: Disc Brake Conversion Advice needed Thanks! I was thinking I managed to mess that up even though I was trying to be careful.
