I had a blown rear cylinder on my 67 FJ-40. I replaced everything on the rear including 4 new cylinders. Front end has a mini truck disc conversion. Everything was filthy inside of both sides of the rear when I swapped in the new parts.
The pedal now actuates alot closer to the floorboard than before the rear brake job. You can pump the pedal several times and it gets tight near the top like it used to. Constant pressure on the pedal shows no fade just lower than before. I think I might be moving more fluid now that I replaced all the wheel cylinders on the rear???? Thoughts
I was going to replace the master cylinder but I am having trouble identifing it. I compared it to a 79 minitruck and it is identical except the hard brake line connection is on the opposite side. My rig has a brake booster so I assume the previous owner replaced the original unit with some late madel item during the mini truck conversion.
I am planning on driving it for a while to let the new pads and drums find their good spot. Any ideas on my master cylinder? New minitruck unit is only $29 from Kragen. I think I could just re-route the hard line to the other side.
