What's up guys. I have been working on my 89 xj brakes for the last few days. I have replaced the rear wheel cylinders, shoes, front calipers, pads, and master cylinder. I have all ways had problems with the brakes but not this bad. It has no pedal what so ever. unless you clamp off the front break lines. Then the pedal feels ok. I have been trying to bleed them for a few hours now. I went thru a bottle and a half of brake fluid. (The big bottles) I am stumped I really don't know what to do besides keep trying to bleed them. Any help is useful. Thanks

 

Did u first bleed the master cylinder first THEN the lines?

 

Yes I bench bleed the master then the brake lines

 

did u bleed it on the vehicle too?

 

Yes I bleed it on the jeep also

 

Power booster might have gone, mine did. Also got rid of the abs. System.

 

Are the rear brakes adjusted?

 

Just fixed it. The piston for the master needed adjustment and their was still a little air in the front lines. Drives great. Now I can take it wheeling on the beach this weekend.

 

Awesome dude, glad you figured it out and thanks for coming back to let us know.
