Rear disc brakes

[CodyB]

Ive had so many problem with my rear disk that at time I wanted to switch back to drums. Ive always had a hard time bleeding them and after we bagged the truck I removed all the E brake suff. But they do look cool

Problem as in air getting back in while trying to bleed em?

Most auto parts stores have auto bleeders that are one way valved to do a one man bleeding. Usually a Help! item at Advance Auto Parts.

I ended up buying a brake bleeder off the tool truck it runs off compressed air. One of the bet tools Ive ever bought!

I see what you guys are saying about mismatched parts and trying to remember what was used. I just think disk brakes looks cleaner than drums.

What if you don't have an e-brake anymore?

 

[1buda]

That's not a bad price for everything.

You can run an S10 caliper, but i need the e-brake for inspection stickers.

mmm, cool, thanks a lot. We don't have inspection so I am good

The one thing Im planning on doing when I redo my truck is removing the ABS and installing the older type booster and master cylinder. But have any of you guys ever seen a upgrade for the factory master cylinder?
