today i swapped the brake resevior holder over to a newer polished unit.. but when i put it all back togeher again and pumped the brake pedal a few times i only had the front brakes clamping... the rear disc's do not seem to be working?
*any idea's to get my rear brakes working? bleed the system? |

Bleeding the system probably wouldnt do any harm.
Oh did you change your rear pads at the same time? maybe you didnt put the caliper on properly?

bleed bleed bleed.
I did mine with a fluid flush a few weeks ago and it took about 3 bottles 1.5 ltr to get it clean. made a huge difference. |

Other thing is that you need to make sure your replacement mast cyl has the same split point for the front/rear proportioning valve. From memory, sedans and commercials are the same, wagons are different - the split point (in Mpa), is stamped on the front.
