TIP: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION, SPRAY ALL FITTINGS AND FASTENERS WITHPENETRATING OIL.

Front Drum Brake Removal1) Raise the car until the wheels and tires clear the floor and support the car on jack

stands. Remove the wheel covers or hub caps and remove the wheel and tire assemblies from the drums.

2) Remove the grease cap from the hub. Remove the cotter pin, nut lock, adjusting nut, and flat washer from the spindle. Remove the outer bearing.

3) Pull the hub and drum assembly from the spindle. If the brake drum will not come off easily, retract shoes by inserting a narrow screwdriver through the brake adjusting slot in the backing plate and disengage the adjusting lever from the adjusting screw. While holding the adjusting lever away from the adjusting screw, back off the adjuster.

4) Drain system of all the brake fluid as follows:a) Remove master cylinder cover. Use a syringe to remove as much fluid from the

master cylinder reservoir as possible.b) Attach hoses to front bleeder screws and place other end of hose in a container.

Open bleeder screw.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET BRAKE FLUID ON THE PAINT. IT CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE!!

c) When fluid stops draining, disconnect the flexible hoses from the rigid brake lineat the frame and remove horseshoe clips. Use plenty of penetrating oil betweenthe tube nut and the mating fitting. We strongly recommend the use of a tubewrench available from any tool supply store including Sears.

5) Remove drum brake as follows:a) Remove flexible hose from the back of both brake cylinders and remove brake

cylinder.b) Remove entire drum brake assembly as a unit by removing the four (4) bolts

attaching the backing plate to the spindle flange. Discard assembly.6) Installation of Conversion kit (refer to Figure II)

a) Install caliper mounting bracket on spindle. Make sure mounting bracket bossesface toward inside of car and the bracket and shield is for the correct side of the car (marked left or right). NOTE: Calipers will mount towards front of car.

b) Attach bracket to spindle with grade 8 bolts supplied in kit from the outside in sothe head of the bolt is on the outside. Secure with locknuts and torque to 35-45 ft.-lbs.

c) Attach the secondary caliper mounting bracket to the main caliper bracket using the 7/16” - 14 x 1 1/2” bolts and lockwashers supplied. Torque to 50 - 60 ft/lbs.

7) Rotors, Hubs and Bearingsa) For this installation, the rotors will be bolted to the backside of the hubs. Lay the

hub down with the lug studs pointing towards the ground and set the rotor over the backside of the hub. Align the holes in the rotor so the larger holes go over the flange on the back of the lugstuds and the smaller holes line up with the tapped holes in the hub. Secure the rotor to the back of the hub with the 1/2” - 20 bolts and lockwashers supplied. Torque to 65 - 70 ft/lbs.

b) Remove the protective coating from the new rotor with brake cleaner (available at most parts stores).

c) Pack the inner (larger) bearing with wheel bearing grease and place in inner cup(which is already in the rotor assembly). Pack grease lightly between the lips of the grease seal and install seal. Use a soft mallet or piece of wood so not to distort the seal while tapping into place.

d) Install the rotor and hub assembly on the spindle.e) Pack and install the outer wheel bearing, washer and adjusting nut.f) The wheel bearing adjustment as follows is especially important with disc

brakes: Rotate rotor while torquing spindle nut to 17-25 ft.-lbs. Back off the adjusting nut 1/2 turn and retighten to 10-15 ft-lbs. Selectively position nut retainer on adjusting nut so a set of slots are in line with the cotter pin hole.Adjusting nut should not be rotated during this operation. Lock adjusting nut and retainer with cotter pin so that cotter pin does not interfere with static collector (if used).

FOR THE BALANCE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, BE CAREFUL THAT ALL HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS ARE KEPT CLEAN AND FREE OF DEBRIS INSIDE AND OUT. REMEMBER DIRT IS THE ENEMY OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS AND SSBC WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SYSTEM FAILURES DUE TO AN UNCLEAN INSTALLATION!

8) Installation of Calipers and Flex Linesa) Install the stainless steel buttress clips into the 4 flat surfaces of the brake

calipers.b) Slide the brake pads in from the top with the lining material on the pads facing

each other. Slide the pad pins in from the front sides making sure they pass through the holes in the brake pad backing plates. Install the retainer clips through the pad pins on the backside of the calipers.

c) Slide the calipers into position over the rotors and bolt them to the mounting brackets using the 7/16” bolts supplied. Torque to 45-50 ft/lbs.

THERE WILL BE ONE UNUSED PORT IN THE DISTRIBUTION BLOCK. THIS PORTMUST BE CAPPED USING THE BRASS PLUG SUPPLIED IN THE KIT.

NOTE: For 64-1/2 cars only an additional adapter fitting will be required to reinstall the pressure switch for the brake lights. Available from SSBC part #A0813.

9) Power Booster and Master Cylinder Installation A120-6 Power Conversiona) Remove the steel brake line going from the master cylinder to the distribution

block. Disconnect, but do not remove the steel line going from the distribution block to the rear brakes. Plug that port with the steel plug supplied with the kit.

b) From under the dash, disconnect the pushrod from the brake pedal. Remove the master cylinder/booster assembly by removing the mounting bolts and slide the assembly of the firewall.

c) Prepare the new booster for assembly by removing the master cylinder and threading the adjustable pushrod onto the back of the booster.

2A120-3, 6, 8, 9 & 10 Revision 3

d) Slide the new booster into position on the firewall and secure it using the original mounting bolts. Note: These bolts will be difficult to tighten. Due to thelimited space they must be tightened using a wrench, but by working from top and bottom all the bolts can be tightened. Remember to connect the booster to a direct source of manifold vacuum.

e) With the booster secure, connect the new pushrod to the brake pedal using the original hardware. By turning the pushrod, its length can be adjusted to correctly position the pedal height.

f) Before installing the master cylinder onto the booster you MUST bench bleed the master cylinder per the separate instruction sheet.

g) The master cylinder will be slipped over the suds on the booster and secured with the nuts and washers provided.

h) The steel line with the two gold fittings and must be bent to connect the near port of the master cylinder to the open port of the distribution block.

10) Proportioning Valve Installationa) Position the adjustable proportioning valve between distribution block and fire

wall.

APPROXIMATE CORRECT LOCATION OF THIS VALVE IS DETERMINED BY THE REAR SYSTEM PREBENT LINE (FROM KIT). BLACK FITTING FROM THIS LINE IS CONNECTED TO FRONT PORT OF MASTER CYLINDER (NEAREST FRONTBUMPER). GOLD FITTING IS CONNECTED TO PROPORTIONING VALVE.

b) Install adapter fittings into both ports of proportioning valve.c) Install gold fitting of prebent line (see 10e. above) into “IN” port of proportioning

valve.d) Rebend front to rear brake line end and connect to “OUT” port of proportioning

valve.11) Filling and Bleeding system

a) It is advisable to replace the brake fluid if the color is brown or muddy. This is due to water that has been absorbed by the fluid which will eventually corrode the brake lines and master cylinder. This absorbed moisture can also cause a vapor lock situation under extreme braking conditions. Flush system with clean brake fluid and replace with a good grade of disc brake fluid. DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluids are acceptable.

b) The simplest and most effective way to bleed your brakes is to use the gravity bleeding approach as follows:1) With calipers installed, make sure all fittings are tight and master cylinder

is topped off.2) Open one bleeder screw at a time starting at the wheel farthest from the

master cylinder and working your way back around the wheel closest to the master. With bleeder screw open, observe bleeder. At first the fluid will begin to escape with intermittent air bubbles. When the air bubbles stop and a steady flow of fluid is observed for several seconds, close the bleeder valve and move on to the next wheel.

3A120-3, 6, 8, 9 & 10 Revision 3

MAKE SURE TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH OVER THE FLUID LEVEL INSIDE THE MASTER CYLINDER DURING THE BLEEDING PROCESS. NEVER LET THE RESERVOIR RUN DRY. ALWAYS KEEP IT AT LEAST 1/3 FULL.

3) After bleeding both wheels and topping of the master cylinder make 20-30 applications of the brake pedal. If a hard petal is experienced, no further bleeding is required. If pedal is spongy, repeat bleeding process until a hard pedal is achieved.

FINAL INSPECTION12) Once a hard pedal is achieved, all fittings and connections must be inspected to make

sure there are not leaks. Also, check the level in both reservoirs of the master cylinderand top off, if needed.

13) Put wheels back on the car and turn wheel by hand to insure that the wheel spins freely and does not interfere with any brake components. If any interferences are detected, DO NOT drive vehicle until problem can be identified and corrected.

DO NOT DRIVE IN TRAFFIC UNTIL THE BRAKES SAFELY STOP THE CAR A SAFE DISTANCEWITHOUT A SPONGY PEDAL FEEL!

BRAKING TESTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE IN A SAFE OPEN AREA!

How do you bench bleed a MasterCylinder?

Secure one of the ears in a vise so that you can take alarge screwdriver and push the piston in. Fill thereservoir with clean fluid. Take a dummy line or our M/Cbleeding kit and hook it up to the two ports. Front line tofront and rear line to rear reservoirs. Slowly stroke themaster and let it return slowly. You should see many airbubbles in the fluid. Repeat this step until you do notsee any more air bubbles. SSBC recommends ten (10)slow pumping strokes after you see no more airbubbles. This will insure a good hard pedal. (See SSBCpart #0460 Instruction Sheet)

What is the best pad for my vehicle?

Your choice of pads should be determined by how andwhere you drive the vehicle. If you drive in heavy stopand go traffic you would need a different pad thansomeone who is road racing. Contact SSBC for thecorrect application.

How often should brake fluid bechanged? (street application only,not racing)

When brake fluid turns brown, it is time to change thefluid. The brown color indicates that the fluid hasabsorbed water and dirt. D.O.T. #3 & #4 fluids absorbwater. Silicone brake fluid is not for track racing.

How can I tell which reservoir is thefront or rear of the Master Cylinder?

The front reservoir is usually larger than the rear. Insome cases, they are the same size. As a rule, for GMcars & trucks, the rear reservoir is for the rear brakes.On Ford cars & trucks, the front reservoir is for the rearbrakes. On front wheel drive vehicles, the brakes aresplit diagonally. Each bowl of the master cylinderservices one front wheel and one rear wheel. This willbe important if you are installing a distribution block,proportioning valve, or residual valve. Hint: The largerbowl will feed the disc brakes.

Why is my brake pedal soft?

1) In most cases, Air is trapped in the lines or calipers.Try re-bleeding the system. Do not force new fluid intonew brake lines. It may foam and be very difficult tobleed. Make sure that the bleeder screws on thecalipers are facing upward!

2) If all the air is out of the system, the pushrod fromthe booster may need adjustment, under the dash, tomake it longer. Do not extend it too long or it will notallow the fluid to return, causing brakes to drag. Yourpushrod may not be adjustable. If the pushrod can bemade longer, try ¼ turn adjustments at a time. SSBCstocks adjustable pushrods for many vehicles. Inaddition, the pushrod between the Booster and theMaster Cylinder may need adjustment. Not all Boosterto Master pushrods are adjustable.

3) You may have a bad Master Cylinder. Before youdetermine this, you should make sure that all the air isout of the system. When installing a new MasterCylinder, always bench bleed first. If you did not, takeoff the Master Cylinder and bench bleed it. (See BenchBleeding Instructions below)

Why does the car pull to one side?

The side that the car is pulling to is the caliper that isworking. Re-bleed the opposite side and try carefullystopping again.

Why does it feel like there is noPower Assist?

The Booster may not be getting enough vacuum tooperate. On some high lift cams, the engine does notdevelop enough vacuum. The Booster needs at least16” of vacuum to operate correctly at idle. If you do nothave at least 16 inches of vacuum at idle, you may haveto add a vacuum pump to your system.Check for vacuum leaks. There may be leaks in theintake manifold or hoses that would cause low vacuum.The Booster may be bad. Do a vacuum test. If theBooster can retain a vacuum for three (3) minutes afterthe vehicle is shut off, it is not a bad Booster (refer tosteps 1 & 2). All Master Cylinders must be bench bledin a vise before being installed on the vehicle.

Solutions Guideto commonly asked questions.


Where is the best place to install aproportioning valve?

The best place to install a proportioning valve is afterthe distribution block. Do Not install it between theDistribution Bock and the Master Cylinder. You willnot be able to get a hard pedal. Anywhere after theDistribution Block and before the rear flex hose isacceptable for installation.

Why should the flex hoses bereplaced? They look O.K. from theoutside.

Flex hoses should be replaced every time the calipersare serviced. They flex up and down, just like a shockabsorber. They are also under high pressure internally.Flex hoses have a rubber liner that will collapse overtime. If it does collapse, it will act as a check valve andnot allow fluid to return to the Master Cylinder.

Will my pedal get harder by replacingthe flex hoses?

No. When the flex hoses are replaced, re-bleed thebrake system. Normally what happens is that bleedingcauses a harder brake pedal. A better bleeding job andtaking your time will result in the same situation.

Are the rubber flex hoses expandingcausing a soft pedal?

Not likely. A soft pedal is usually a sign of air in thesystem due to poor bleeding. Flex hoses have nylonwebbing that is molded into the internal rubber. It is verystrong and will hold up to 3,000 P.S.I. Installing braidedstainless steel hoses is not necessary; it only improvesappearance.

How much brake pressure does ittake to stop my vehicle?

Most vehicles, power or non power brake, develop1,200 P.S.I. When you panic stop or jump on the brakeshard, a surge of 1,400 P.S.I. can be achieved. If afactory proportioning valve installed on the vehicle, therear brakes are only developing 600 – 700 P.S.I. Drumbrakes require lower pressure because they grab morequickly. When rear disc brakes are installed, the rearbrake pressure may be increased to 800 – 1,000 P.S.I.or more. A good way to check the pressures and to seeif the system is working correctly, use a pressure gaugescrewed into the bleeder port (SSBC part # A1704). Avehicle with less than 600 P.S.I will not stop!

How tight should the wheel bearingsbe?

The front bearings should always be torqued. Not justhand tightened. Bearings usually require 12-15 Ft./Lbs.of torque. Then you will probably need to back off a littleto align the cotter pin hole. Do Not over tighten; thebearing life will be shortened. This procedure onlyapplies to rear wheel drive vehicles with separatebearings and races. On vehicles with one piece sealedbearing assemblies or hub assemblies, refer to aservice manual.

What type of differential fluid shouldI use in my rear axle?

If you have positraction, use a Hypoid or Limited Slipadditive that is designed for your particular rear end. Ifyou do not have positraction, any type of 80 –90 weightgear lube is acceptable. Fluid should be changed oftenif you are trailering or any type of extreme usage. Thisfluid does brake down with time and usage.

How and why do I bench bleed a master cylinder?

When installing or replacing a master cylinder, it is critical that allair is removed from the master cylinder. This can easily be doneby bench bleeding the master cylinder prior to installation. Usingthe SSBC master cylinder bleeder kit (#0460):

1) Place your master cylinder in a vise by the ears (not body).Make sure it is level.

2) Attach a piece of clear plastic hose to the short end of one ofthe plastic nozzles. Do the same to the other hose andnozzle.

3) Clip the plastic bridge to the wall and push the ends of thehose through the holes so they are SUBMERGED in the reservoir on either side of the wall.

4) Press the tapered end of the nozzle FIRMLY into the cylinder port hole with a twisting motion. Repeat thisprocedure on the other port hole.

5) Fill the reservoir with CLEAN brake fluid recommended by the manufacturer.6) Using full strokes, push the piston in, then release. Do this until ALL the air bubbles have disappeared

from the clear plastic hose. (CAUTION-MASTER CYLINDER WILL NOT BLEED PROPERLY UNLESSHOSES ARE SUBMERGED IN BRAKE FLUID UNTIL THE BLEEDING PROCESS IS COMPLETED.)

Now mount master cylinder and avoid brake fluid leaking out of front and rear ports during installation.

Bleeding steps for Dual Port Master Cylinder

If you have a master cylinder with dual port holes (4 port holes - 2 on each side), it is necessary to bleed bothport sides of the master cylinder. If both sides of the master cylinder are not bled, there will be air trapped inthe master cylinder and your brakes will not function properly.

To bleed dual port master cylinders:

1) Follow steps 1 - 6 above on the side you will be hooking the brake lines to. Plug the other side.2) Once the air bubbles are no longer visible in the plastic hose, open the bleeder screws in the supplied

plugs and allow the mater cylinder to gravity bleed. DO NOT push the master cylinder piston in while theplugs are gravity bleeding.

3) When clear, steady streams of fluid are coming out of both bleeders, close and tighten the bleeders. Givethe master cylinder piston several strokes, making sure there are still no bubbles present in the clearplastic tubes.

4) Remove the tubes and plastic fittings and mount the master cylinder on the vehicle being careful not tospill brake fluid on any painted surfaces.
