Dando Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I am getting conflicting answers while searching this subject. Can I simply delete it from the system and plug the emergency diversion line or must I use the XJ distribution block? Either doesn't matter to me I have a parts cherokee out back. Just looking for the simplest reliable work around. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I just did this last weekend. Remove load sensing valve. Plug the lowest and most forward fitting on the distribution block under the hood. Have someone depress the brake pedal slightly while you observe the 2 lines removed from the load sensing valve. The one that oozes brake fluid needs the fitting changed so it will thread into the rubber brake hose going to the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, also curious on what sizes of plugs and adapters to get to the rubber hose you used. And have you experienced any negative braking (locking up etc)?

cruiser54 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The plug is for brake lines. I had one laying around. I also had the fitting needed for the line in the rear. I cut the line and put the fitting on and double-flared it. Sorry I don't have the exact sizes for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 To plug the outlet on the forward distribution block, you can track down a plug made for the purpose, or you can use any standard 1/2" fine thread bolt and cut it to the length needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88ComancheMitch Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I did this when I put the 8.25 in my Comanche. We got the plug from Oreilly's. However, I bought like of the plugs until I found the one that fit. If you can find a size that would help you. OR just take the valve up there if you can.

cruiser54 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Remove the line from the bottom front of the combo valve. Cut the end off and take it to the parts store and ask for a plug like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
