8.8 swap in B2-Np brake pressure-Need HELP

[tomahawk350]

I'm swapping in a '96 explorer rear with disc brake. I connected the brakes like the original 7.5 rear. I swapped in a D30 in the front and connected the lines similiar to stock and used Wrangler extended brake lines. I cant get them to hold pressure even after replacing the master cyl.

Any ideas?

Faulty master cylinder?

Did you bench bleed the master before installation?

what do you mean by hold pressure?

You did bleed the brakes right?

Figured it out last nite after reading another post. I had the front calipers on the wrong side...oops . Bleeder screws got to be on top lol

Bleeder screws got to be on top

That is usually a helpful thing to have.

Now try bleeding the front brakes on a 43 New Yorker. Dual wheel cylinder setup, one top, one bottom, which one do you bleed first?
