Brake Bias Valve adjustment

[garth]

Gudday

Trying to get the wagon to pull up better and have done a search and still no clear conclusion.

Which way do you wind the adjustment bolt with the lock nut on the back of the valve? .....in or out to get more breaking power to the rear?
I have extended the bias bracket to match the lift height and fitted slotted rotors but still cant get enough to rear.
Adjustment either way makes no noticeable difference as yet...........

the valves probably rooted. I would think winding it out would allow more pressure. pulling the spring in pulls the arm in closing off the pressure. done this to mine a couple of weeks ago for engineers adjusted the bracket so the arm was open more & fitted the slotted rotors pulls up a lot better now.

i Was playing around with mine today becouse they were doing next to nothing, and the rotors were rusting away due to lack of use.
I wound out the bolt about 5 turns and it made a slight improvement, If i had new pads and rotors im sure it would be allot better but would never lock up the wheels.
So i removed the spring and bracket all together.
Im going to leave it off for a while and see how it goes, When i get time to do the rear brakes i will rebiuld it all and probably put it back on.

Make sure you wind out the Bolt on the bottom, That gives more bias to the rear..
