I have never seen so many shim stuck in one shock. Youd hit a 3” crack and the dash would popSteveG wrote:Oh man. That’s wild!
. By the way Steve, still having braking issues. I just cant seem to get all the air out. I ordered a positive pressure bleeder to see if that works.

It lets me remember what i did without 1,000 keyboard warriors letting me know how i did it wrong or how I could’ve done it different. The small amount here will chime in when its important. Some of the old gfb guys are still here. I miss them. Plus you have to admit, 650,000 views somewheres is hilarious no matter how rediculous it is.

At least it would be by more than competent people. By the way still fighting the brake pedal. I kept the abs and so i was on the hunt for the tool that plugs into the abs control module. I did go iut to the dirt and got it to 30 mph and slammed on the brakes a few times. It helped but still not perfect. 
that valve stack was wild 
Thank you. Yeah and the left overs could’ve filled 2 bypassesTree trunk wrote:Congrats on getting it down the road
my dad had done a disc break conversion on his Cherokee. We had been battling squishy breaks for ever….. turned out he had installed the calipers backwards…. Left on the right side and right on the left. And that caused a little pocket of air to be trapped in the calipers.
He just used calipers zj calipers. Your breaks are a little more high speed than his. Maybe that’s something to look in too

. I have bumper jacks, so i have backed up the bronco and pulled it straight in and lifted both ends trying to maybe move an air pocket. My understanding is, since i kept the abs i need a special tool to cycle the abs pump in order to get the air out of the valves. At 400.00 on eBay, my wife said screw abs. The coils drive me nuts. One of these days ill buy the wheel strut compressor on amazon so i dont have to reset the collars. 15 comp with a flutter and 12 rebound.Tree trunk wrote:Ohhhhh that’s rough
Kind of a pain in the ass to have to revalve the shock, but all the extra shims is a come up!
Valving is not cheap lol
What kind of shim stack did you do?

Thank you! It felt like an accomplishment for sure. When you redo your own gears, the first move under power is a bit intimidating. Plus Carly and the kids love it.SteveG wrote:Yeaaahhh! Congrats!
Thank you Rod. Ill give it a try. Its really close but there is still air. Much better than before but ill do it to alleviate the possibility.AussieRod wrote:Randy, I think I can see your brake problem. Unbolt the rear calipers and turn them on the rotor until they are vertical with the bleeder up. Then, get someone inside to pump while you bleed. Once the air is out, return the caliper to it's bracket and bolt it back on. I'm thinking this will cure your spongy brakes, as air is trapped in the piston bores ABOVE the bleed port. No amount of normal bleeding will remove this air until the bleed port is higher than the trapped air. Brake calipers of that type need to be mounted vertically, not horizontally. Just my $0.02.
