Default ABS to Standard brakes

Can anyone tell me how to convert to standard brakes from ABS on 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo? In other words what booster,master, proportion valve and how the brake lines are to be run.

If you have a problem with the abs system. It will usually shut down & revert to conventional system.Not the best but the cheapest solution.. My Grand has done that & my Mechanic says no problem. I can repair the abs system or go with conventional..Pops

I believe my master cyl. failed - (soft pedal) no leaks in system. I am going to try to rebuild the master if I can't find one for a decent price. Jeep dealer wants almost $700.00.
What a job to remove it, it has to all come out together with accumulator etc.

Hi there,

There is a recall on abs brakes from Chrysler. The pump-motor assembly have a lifetime warranty.

DEC 27, 1996 | Recall ID# 51526 Hide Details
Recall Reason SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
Recall Date DEC 27, 1996
Model Affected CHEROKEE
Potential Units Affected 52000

Recall Summary
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS). THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE PUMP-MOTOR DETERIORATION.

Consequence
IF THIS OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION WOULD BE LOSE AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS WILL SIGNAL SYSTEM IMPAIRMENT AND THE BASE MANUAL BRAKES WILL REMAIN FUNCTIONAL.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL TEST THE VEHICLE'S ABS AND REPAIR AS NECESSARY. THE WARRANTY ON ALL ABS COMPONENTS WILL BE EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES (EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLY AND THE PUMP-MOTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WILL HAVE A LIFETIME COVERAGE). OWNERS WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR PREVIOUS ABS COMPONENT REPAIR COSTS.

Notes
CHRYSLER CORPORATION 702
