Windowsrookie Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I've been looking through the threads, and there's a lot of info scattered around all over. I just want to know what exactly I need for the easiest (plug and play) swap. I believe I need a 1995-1996 XJ, Booster, Master Cylinder, Prop Valve, and Pedal Assembly? I also need some sort of adapters? And new brake lines need to be bent? Finally, what do I do about the Prop Valve on the rear axel? And can I pick up the brake line I need at an Auto Parts store?
offroader461 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Simply put: *get a 95-96 booster/master cylinder(don't forget the aluminum spacer) *get a 95-96 pedal assembly w/brake switch (easy to wire in...don't waste your time doing the filing crap with the old switch NOT WORTH IT) *take the old fitting off your lines (proportioning valve side) and the fittings off the new master cylinder side and go have new lines made with the fittings in the correct spot(don't waste your time with adapters) *Leave the rear load sensing valve in...it will work the same... I did it this exact way and has worked perfectly for the last year! :cheers:

Windowsrookie Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 MJ's have two lines going to the rear Prop Valve and XJ's don't right? What do I do about that?

HOrnbrod Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 :agree: If it's working as it should no need to get rid of it.
robfg67 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Here's another write-up. I haven't done this yet, but it's on the short list for the spring. http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticles/ ... index.html
Windowsrookie Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks guys, hardest part appears to be making the lines. What size is the steel line so I can make it?
offroader461 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 just get standard brake lines...autozone carries them
