Anyone get this installed yet? I won't be able to until I'm set up in my new garage in May...the only thing I am lost on is changing the proportioning valve internals. Anyone have any tips?

Theres two good write ups I think jeepforums and naxja has. You may not even need em. Alot of people keep it stock

It is SUPER easy to change out the "guts".

Get a 3/4 in. socket,ratchet & a small pair of needle nose pliers.Remove the cap-set down the ratchet,then grab the pliers & remove the spring & metering valve as one unit.Or, if it's easier, one at a time.

Replace in same order.Takes literally 60 seconds.

Alot of people do not bleed their brakes afterwards but I did 'cause I installed rear calipers.

It's up to you.

I like this write-up.

Added.

After the May trip the there will be a price increase of $20.The yard & shipping both went up on prices & I'm just passing that increase along to the buyer.

Sorry guys.

Installed brakes today-highly recommend, parts came fast, clean, and professional. If youre even thinking about buying them here, I HIGHLY value this vendor. Would buy again..no buyers remorse here. A++

What's the price if I pick up and we install it while I'm there lol? This is on my list of things to do...

Big David 04-09-2013 07:11 PM

You are 2 hours away.

So.... 2 here ,2 back for a total of 4.

4 hours x $10 a hour=40

222 miles / 25 MPG=8.88 x $3.40 a gal.=30.19+40=$70.19

It is cheaper to ship it.

My kit arrived yesterday... Now I need to go buy the extra parts needed and get my kit installed. Hopefully my install goes as smoothly as others here keep posting. :)
