    I have a 73 hilux that already had a disc brake swap when I bought it. Brakes weren't that great when I bought it (pedal went to the floor Yada yada). Since then I've replaced master, booster, calipers,pads and front brake lines all from a 81 toyota. Now my problem is the (passenger and maybe both) Front caliper(s) are locking up. It started after I replaced the the master and booster, maybe I did something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    I don't know....

    But I know new parts can be defective. Maybe the master is messed up?

    Ok I finally figured out what the problem was, does anyone know how to shorten the booster rod that goes to the master?
