Reply to "Wilwood 6 Piston Front Brakes Not Releasing - Seeking Advice"

panteradougMember

In the case of the master used in the Pantera I am not sure of BUT in the case of the Ford master cylinders often the same master is used with drum brakes and disc brakes.

When you use them with disc brakes there is a small plastic "check valve" that you need to remove.

The check valve keeps the drum shoes from returning to the starting position and is necessary for the auto adjusters to work. You don't use them with the disc brake application and you just pry them out with a screwdriver or similar.

Did you look for that on the master?
