Guys,

I have a 65GT with disks in the front. When I changed from the single to dual cylinders I had all kinds of troubles. I kept seeing bearing grease all over my rims. After many months of trying to figure out what was happening I figured out that the grease was getting heated, expanding, popping the cap off a bit and squeezing out. What caused that? Well the calipers were not releasing all the way, What caused that? There was a check valve of some sort in the master cylinder. After a call to Mustangs unlimited they told me to drill it out and all will be fine. Did it (and cleaned out the filings) and all worked fine.

I say this and at the same time I just posted a quesion about adjusting the porportioning valve. I had 10 years of everything working fine before the brakes started acting funny.

Tim
