Re: Drivers rear locking up
Just incase anyone else has a similar problem, I did figure it out today. I had planned on putting the adjustable p-valve on yesterday, but realized I didn't have all of the fittings I needed. And the more I thought on it, the more I thought maybe the front seal on the primary piston in the master cylinder was bad. So this morning I replaced it, and that fixed it.
At first my parking brake cable has been froze up, so a friend thought that may be causing the one rear wheel to engage first. I finally got the cable loose and adjusted it to enough slack and made sure not to set it until new cable comes in. Then I had thought maybe the adjusters were causing trouble, so I pulled the automatic adjusters out and ran both adjusters almost all the way in where they wouldn't drag at all. One semi-quick stop in the gravel and it drug the drivers rear. It was like the fronts were getting nothing, but they would bleed. They just wouldn't get enough pressure before the pedal started engaging the rear brakes in the master cylinder. The pressure was being bled off back into the reservoir. The master cylinder was bought new when I did the disc brake swap like two years ago. Wasn't expecting it to be bad. I will get the rears adjusted right and the automatic adjusters back in when I put the adjustable p-valve in during winter. Crazyness.
