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.
