Brake Lines

If you’re in the market for better brakes on your truck, a closed knuckle dana 44 disc brake conversion kit is an effective way to gain more braking power than stock drum brakes. These kits replace factory rotors with two new high performance discs using high quality pistons. You may even opt for heavier-duty calipers for even better stopping power. Furthermore, make sure that all of your brake lines are replaced using suitable hose type.

Installing disc brake discs with a single-pot master cylinder may cause front brake drag, so for optimal results it is recommended that you upgrade to a dual-pot master cylinder before installing your calipers.

Brake Master Cylinder

The brake master cylinder is an essential element of your vehicle’s braking system, as it converts the pressure applied to your brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that then goes to your calipers or wheel cylinders.

When pressing your brake pedal, a functioning master cylinder should provide a firm and consistent feel. A soft pedal indicates that your master cylinder isn’t functioning correctly and will need replacing.

Before replacing your master cylinder, it is recommended that you bench bleed it first to release any air pockets and tighten to the correct torque specification. Doing this will prevent additional fluid from seeping into your brake lines during replacement.
