Rear drum-to-disc.
I've just finished my disc brake upgrade on the rear of the Quantum. I
bled the brakes before seeing the proper procedure in the Bentley. The
brakes seem kinda weak now (although better than before with COMPLETELY
worn out drums). I've definitely felt the car stop better. Is this
probably air in the system or do I possibly have other problems.
Anticipating a question I'm sure a lot of y'all would ask, the bias
front to rear may actually be a little off to the front. The fronts
ALWAYS lock up before the rears. Do I need more rear bias or just
re-bleed the brakes. I'm not really 100% certain on what Bentley is
talking about for either procedure. I know some of y'all have done
this. Any feedback?
