Lee21490 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 So... My pedal goes half way to the floor with no resistance & then feels nice and firm. Back brakes seem to be barely working -> Replaced the master cylinder / Wheel cylinder / Pads / Bled the $#!& out of the whole entire system. Still hasn't fixed it.. There's no leaks anywhere & the booster is fairly new & holds vaccum I'm at a loss.. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave92cherokee Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sounds like the rear load sensor isn't working properly or isn't adjusted correctly. There's write-ups on how to remove it and bypass it as well as problems bleeding brakes because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawled under & its not even hooked up / the valve won't even move /e Also on the way back from the store about a block from my house drove pass a shiny red 'manche :3 The usual thumbs up / head nod ensued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon, say "Hello" to Lee. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36841 Sounds like his is the booster since it goes all the way to the ground, Mine gets full pressure at 50% But has Nothing for the first 50% (Although if you pump the first half pedal you can feel the brakes catch for a second) I popped up the rear end & put it in drive and couldnt even stop the back tire while stomping on the brake :/ Fronts work perfectly. So assuming i need to replace / remove the back valve? /e read a guide on how to bleed the second line going to the back. Never knew there was a 'special' bleed method. GOing to try that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Did you adjust your rear brake shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
