    All the saga continues.

    Took Doris out for a drive now that I finished the Roxor front axle and steering linkage. I am finding that the front disc brakes are not releasing completely as the Jeep isn’t rolling freely in neutral if I push it. I am thinking a proportioning valve may somehow solve this problem? Can you recommend one that would fit this application?

    Not proportioning valve, but do you still have the drum residual pressure valve in the line for them disks?

    ……ooh…..:shock:was I supposed to add that in somewhere?

    :banghead:

    She stops fine, though the pedal is pretty hard and probably doesn’t move more than 1-2 when depressed. My hubs are hot, so the shoes are not releasing completely as heating things up. Phuck.
