Default Rear Disc Conversion Issue Part 2

New calipers on the rear now
New adjustable Prop. Valve
New Rotors
New steel brake lines
New pads
New Master Cylinder


Brakes have been bled no air anywhere, rear brakes do not stop the wheels from spinning. Brake pedal has nice tight feel all the way to the floor, front brakes stop perfectly, only the rears don't stop.

I can see the piston move in when brake pedal is pressed but it appears it doesn't travel enough to fully stop the rotors from my observation. I'm a network guy not a ford technician.

Everything is brand new now and it still don't work...anyone have any ideas as to why ? or what else needs to be done if anything to get the rear brakes to work.

you're a couple pollacks short....

how much free play when the piston returns to rest? there should always be a slight drag with disks.

when you put the rear pads on you TURNED the pistons in, not pressed them ,right? if you pressed them in you probably damaged the calipers.

no did not press them, rears don't press they turn clockwise inward.

When pressing the brake pedal the calipers will compress enough to SLOW down the rotors spinning but not enough to STOP them.

I purchased the tool two weeks ago when messing with the "used" calipers I had.
