Hi All,
I need help.
I’ve seen a lot of info on rear disc brakes, master cylinders, some on combination valves. My question from anyone that’s installed disc brakes on the front bogies, and kept drums on the rear, which I’m about to do; is where did the caliper brake line hook up to? The line with the drums, or a separate line from the MC bypassing the combination valve?
The drums require about 10 lbs. residual line pressure to keep the cups from leaking, disc calipers do not need that residual which would cause disc drag, heat, pad ware, lower mpg. The residual pressure is built in the combination valve. Since the rear calipers don’t need residual pressure, I think the line for the calipers should tap into the rear brake line ahead of the combination valve.
What do you gurus say? Right track, or all wet?
Thanks for your input.
