are you sure its air? not a leaky master cylinder or similar allowing pressure to dissipate.

describe what the same is.

Post by stock 4runner »

thanks for the help guys all sorted now turned out the callipers where just chewing more fluid then the drums did makeing so it had lots of pedel travel so i thought they had air.
adjusted the push bolt on the pedal and its all sweet got a short hard pedal and great breaks.

Post by stock 4runner »

just in case any one is interested thought i would put up some prices as it a nice conversion and cheep as to do for what you get all up you can do it for $260 mines was only $210 as i made my own brackits as my diff has too muck bracing to run a bought set
calipers $130 pair
rotors $50 pair (actually was a 1125 rum)
break lines $20 pair from wreckers
high tensile bolts $10 (the wreckers didnt give me the bolts to bolt the caliper on)
set of brackits $50 (from roctoy but i made my own)
