Well, i have changed everything but the booster, rear hose, and metal lines. Front brakes were still building too much pressure. When checking and re-checking everything,i re-measured the brake booster push-rod that goes to the master cylinder with a digital caliper (unavailable to me before) and fo...

Re: Brakes build too much pressure

Thanks for the help. I think it may be the master cylinder too. Its about the only thing I haven't replaced new or taken apart and rebuilt myself. Either that or the rear brake hose isn't new.

they should make one of these little smilies holding a gun to it's head. boom

Pressure differential valve?

I can't seem to locate a proportioning valve or a pressure differential valve.
Does my 86 B2 even have them? Where the hell is it located? Brakes are killin' me. :mad2:

Re: Brakes build too much pressure

Both front caliper hoses replaced and problem still occurs. Gonna replace brake booster check valve and go from there. Didn't do the check valve yet, but I rebuilt my calipers again to be sure they weren't sticking and the brakes ended up grabbing too much again. Put in new rear wheel cylinders and ...

Re: Brakes build too much pressure

Thats the second time I've heard that, so I'll give it a try today.

By the way I am in total agreement with you I want to be sure that when i hit the brakes those bad boy are gonna stop me. I like to bomb it, but not like that. :D

Re: Brakes build too much pressure

Well the fluid used to be shit, but i flushed the whole system rebuilt the calipers swapped in a used power booster and master cylinder, which made the brakes function better, but i still have the same problem.

Brakes build too much pressure

On my 86 B2 I've been having problems with the front brakes grabbing too much. When I start out driving they fell fine, a little spongy, but fine. After driving for a short period (5-10 miles) the brake pedal gets very firm and I can feel them grabbing when i coast to a stop and when i take off, i h...

So I bled the system about 4 times. When i depress the clutch pedal at first it fills like it's building pressure and then goes to the floor, and the pedal will return very slowly. When the vehicle is running you can start to put it reverse and the gears will start to clash(clutch depressed or not) ...
