Weak Brakes

[TallGuyJeep]

We have decent brakes again! Doing the bench bleed did the trick. Wasn't too bad, major pain to bolt and unbolt it from behind the dash, but with some extension and u joint magic i could get at it with the cordless impact which made quick work of it. Got it out, bled, back in and the lines bled in about 3.5 hours!

Braking power is back to when i first got it, but still seems weaker than it should with discs on all corners. I'm going to take a real good look at the pads and rotors, maybe get new ones then we'll see about swapping the proportioning valve.

Thanks for the help y'all.

That pressure bleeder would have made about a 1/2 hour job of it. Just saying. It's really nothing more than a garden sprayer with a cap to allow attaching to the master cylinder, along with a pressure gauge. You don't want to go too high on the pressure. But like a cooling system pressure tester, it can tell you if you have a leak somewhere.
