Brakes

Not sure where to put this :-

HELP Plumbing Brakes

Vehicle is a suzuki sj 4x4

Master cylinder has 4 ports (2 nearest bonnet common and 2 near back common)

So how do I pump brakes when I have 3 Lines (1 left Front 1 Right Front, 1 Rear -T'd common).

We currently have the 2 front ports going to the front wheels and the other 2 going to the rear but all that happens is the rear lock very quickly. (not bad for drum brakes) even through the bias valve.


I guess I need to blank off a port on the master but which one.

Problem is the Master and the Servo were replaced and it has 4 ports instead of original 2.....


There is a bias valve for the rear brakes



I'll post a picture in my archive -< as I have never figure out how to post it here.

Won't make any difference to the pressure going to the back wheels

All you need to do to fit a 4 outlet master cylinder to a two line system is use two bleed nipples -- put one in the unwanted front port and one in the unwanted rear port.

If the rear lock up prematurely the bias valve is not working or if it is a load sensing valve linked to the suspension it is out of adjustment.
