Rear disc brake not working
Hi guys,
need advise here.
i have an 87 iroc with 4 disc brake. The rear disc brake are not working.
I did a master cylinder bench bleeding and a full 4 calipers bleed.
after that, I have the same problem. No rear break.
what could be wrong? Proportioning valve?
thanks

Re: Rear disc brake not working
Remember, use the PARKING brake (no such thing as "emergency" brake) EVERY SINGLE TIME you park the car, and twice each time on Sundays just for good measure, to keep the rear brakes working. It's the only way they get adjusted to make up for pad wear.
