help '87 cherokee brakes
I did a front break job on my 1987 jeep Cherokee and now I can't get any
fluid to my passenger side caliper. What the heck is happening? |

What is your definition of a 'brake job'? Hopefully it wasn't a 'break
job'. ;-) Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's RANDALL HAMILTON wrote: > > I did a front break job on my 1987 jeep Cherokee and now I can't get any > fluid to my passenger side caliper. What the heck is happening? |

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
Okay, we aren't dealing with rocket science, just fluid dynamics.
There are really only two possibilities: You have a massive air bubble that has created a hydraulic block and needs to be worked through or the line is crimped somewhere. When you did your brake job did you properly support the caliper when you were taking things apart or did you just let it hand from the flexible hose like 97% of brake technicians do? Did anything unusual happen during the job? Did the jeep fall off the jack stands or something else where physical damage might have been done to the brake line? Try going to the fitting between the flexible and the steel lines and take that apart. If you get brake fluid then you have damaged the flexible line and it needs to be replaced.

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
I should have gone into more detail. I replaced the master cylinder both
calipers, rotors and pads. I didn't do the rear as the shoes had about 70% left. Before I started I flushed the system with new fluid. After the new gear was installed I ran into this problem. It's been suggested that the proportioning valve might be the problem but I don't know how to check it out and can't see any way to adjust it. Any suggestions? I hate to just start replacing parts at random.

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
Did you bleed the new master cylinder before you installed it?

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
The combination valves don't fail often and when they do usually they
take out two of the wheels..... I would be suspecting a bad flex hose.

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
The combination valves don't fail often and when they do usually they

Re: help '87 cherokee brakes
Problem found, a piece of the old master cylinder found it's way into the
proportioning valve and was blocking the line. Of course I started disassembling from the calipers and worked my way almost to the new master before I found it. It's funny this didn't happen when I flushed the system before I decided to replace the master. Any chance that the problem was with the new unit even after bench bleeding it? In any case a big THANK YOU to everyone for the help.RLH "RANDALL HAMILTON" <RLHAMILTON@PRODIGY.NET> wrote in message news:XlGJe.240$Zh2.68@newssvr17.news.prodigy.com.. . >I did a front break job on my 1987 jeep Cherokee and now I can't get any >fluid to my passenger side caliper.
