Hi guys, i swap the drum for disc on my 14B and now the rear brake are sticking, I used an hydraulic flow control for the proportionning valve in the line.
Free flow one way and control the other, and its not back ward!!! ;)
Ive seen somewhere that there is a kind of pressure older in the master??? 10 psi for drum and 2psi for disc...what is that?

thanks
Phil

I know when i first set my 14b disks up the first time the where "stuck" in place, in fact i tore them apart and put them back together but still the same thing. So i figured what the hell, maybe they'll loosen off once i drive it a few miles and low and behold they did, perhaps you just need to get out and drive a few k's. i am using an adjustable proportioning valve so mines dialed right in.

I used front gm 3/4 ton caliper, with a non disc mc. There is a check valve, but it's made design to free flow when i let the brake.
I have it like that for a year now, but i used it only to plow my lane way...and i'm planning a trip to the gorge in two weeks!!

I *think* some non-disc MC's have the residual pressure stuff in the MC itself - might be worth following that idea.
