wrangler06 10-09-2009, 09:59 AM i just did a brake conversion on my tj from a grand and i don't have brakes at all now and i did bleed them with over a gallon of fluid and still nothing its not leaking anywhere and the pedal is fairly stiff but not how i would like it is there anyway that i can vaccum bleed the system Knuckelhead 10-09-2009, 11:02 AM Did you put your calipers on upside down?... wrangler06 10-09-2009, 11:07 AM no they only went on one way and i know that the calipers are good cause i had the 44a in my tj but i blew it up so i put my stock shit back in could there be air in my master cylinder? i hate brakes i can do everything else but them ha wrangler06 10-09-2009, 11:08 AM i just thought of somthing could a pinch on the oem rubber line casue this they were kinda short when i put this on maybe thats why? bushhog750 10-09-2009, 11:36 PM from what ive found by working with brakes on my rig here recently the rubber hoses can collapse and cause shitty braking or cause the calipers to stick. did you change the m/c from the stock tj m/c to the grand m/c. if you did. did you bench bleed the new m/c. if you didnt bench bleed the new m/c it can be a bitch to get all the air out of the lines. some say it is almost impossible. rudyYJ 10-15-2009, 09:57 AM i just did a brake conversion on my tj from a grand and i don't have brakes at all now and i did bleed them with over a gallon of fluid and still nothing its not leaking anywhere and the pedal is fairly stiff but not how i would like it is there anyway that i can vaccum bleed the system confused...you say "i don't have brakes at all now" and "and the pedal is fairly stiff"... We know fluid is getting to the caliper because you put a gallon thru air would make the peddle soft, not your problem. no fluid flow would make it stiff, also not your problem. Could the calipers be seized, not sliding on the sliders or be binding on something to prevent them from pinching the rotor? rudytj Matgyver 12-02-2009, 02:37 PM hey man sorry to hijack, but did you take the breaks from you 44a and put them on your 35c??? I am getting a free 44a and have seen now it's a turd...but discs on my 35 would be better then how it's sittin now!!!! thanks! Matty | |
