Guys , im not sure on rear caliper make ,,right stuff kit with the adjustment arm for emergency brake, largish single piston,, i have bench bled master 3 times now out of frustration,, vacuum bleed, reverse bleed and good ol' 2 person bleed has been done prob 10 times with no luck.. found a couple of bad lines and replaced them,, changed pedal ratio.. I was running the wilwood 7/8 master with rear drums and stock camaro discs before i changed to this current setup and was never happy with the pedal.. it was always spongy and too close to the floor . The emergency brake is not fully adjusted ,, prob running 50% of what it could be.. thats another problem, getting these things to 'wind up' is an art in itself ive found. Would that solve my problem?
P.S. this is a manual setup as my injection runs very little vacuum for assist.
I have also tilted the rear caliper nipples upward when bleeding as per instructions just to squeeze that last bit of air from system.. every trick i can think of..
