I've had my KJ rear discs for a few years and I'm pretty sure they were working excellent at some point.
I recently took them off my 8.25 and stuck'm on my D44, but I'm not getting any power to them now. With the ass end lifted up on jacks, tranny in first and just idling, I can step on the brake with both feet and not lock up the rear.
When I bleed them, they seem to bleed just fine.
I've also recently put the WJ knuckles and Akebono dual piston on my front D30. They lock up without any hesitation on dry pavement, while the rears don't seem to do any thing. Was driving around in the snow/ice today and noticed that even on ice, with clutch disengaged, I can't lock up the rear.
That said, they lock up enough that I can't spin them by hand
in the shop.
Any idea's? I originally suspected that maybe the caliper fluid volume was just way more than the stock XJ master could provide, but tonnes of other guys seem to have no problem.
*edit* I did have to clock the rear calipers up a little higher than stock due to mismatched backplate bolt holes. Stock is clocked at exactly 90 degrees from top, while I think mine are clocked around 60 degrees. I keep thinking maybe the calipers don't bleed properly at that angle, but the pedal is firm. I'll try to bleed'm off the jeep again hopefully tonight, but I doubt that's goona do it.
