Rebuilding a wrecked TJ, trying to get brakes working.
Master Cylinder was leaking at the back where the booster meets it. Replaced master cylinder w/ a used one off of a YJ or XJ. Bought new proportioning valve, elimintating abs got non abs valve. When bleeding have good pressure on all wheels except for left front sometimes it has good pressure, other times just seeps out. Replaced left caliper, still can not get any pedal pressure. Replaced all hard lines and put front YJ rubber lines on.
Just not building any pressure on the pedal, and sure wont stop ya

Do I have a bad M/C?

Can anyone verify that you could use a ford F250 M/C w/ a disk/drum setup?

I think you still have air trapped somewhere.

how do you do a bench bleed? I skipped that part when I did my brakes and just want to know how for future reference

Got it fixed, sure does help when you put the caliper on the correct side, remember bleeders go to the top of the caliper
