brake swap problem
I changed from power brakes to manual. My new master cylinder is from wilwood. I bench bled, installed, bled brakes and I cruised down my road, braking and when I turned around all 4 disc brakes locked up. I bleed a caliper and it rolls fine. The pressure is released until i do it all over again. I have tried 2 master cyclinders? The pedal is coming all the way back and rod length should be fine.

brakes
Just a thought, maybe the original master cylinder had a vented cap on the master cylinder, and the wilwood master is one without a vented cap.When you apply the brake the pressure keeps building up in the master cylinder, keeping the brakes applied. I would call Wilwood and explain the situation and they will tell you exactly what is wrong, they deall with it every day. There number is 805-388-1188, hope this helps.
