1987 complete brake rebuild

[sdb999]

It’s time, pedal to rotors it’s all getting replaced. 1987 22re but I’m buying new anyway so later v6 bits are going in. Looks to me like 91’ v6 parts across the board should bolt on and wok together as intended. Just confirming that 91’ parts will fit.
Thanks.

Calipers and rotors are larger. You'll need to slightly add clearance of the dust plate. I would suggest also replacing the hoses with steel braid hoses and don't forget the rear load sensing valve. They tend to corrode and the piston sticks.
I also went with DOT 5.
Good project, its nice knowing it'll stop.

Thanks for the validation [MENTION=106844]kc15842[/MENTION]. The load sensing valve will be removed entirely and replaced with a manual biasing valve. Front is well documented, the rear wheel cylinders/drums/hardware will be swapped to 91'/v6 as well which should be some improvement over stock 87'/22re. If you have any experience with the rear swap it would be greatly appreciated. As for stainless lines I'll have to poke around again, my first search didn't bear fruit.

I think you should also upgrade master cylinder, and possibly the vacuum booster.
I also wonder if those from V6 would plug and play.

IIRC, member KEYCW on yotatech just did brake upgrade with SS lines.

Im running TG braided lines on the 92. They work great.

I have an 88, would the kit in that link work for mine?

Measure your lines. These are extended for folks that have lifted the truck. My guess these are 3-5" longer than stock.

Ah, good to know! My truck is stocky, which is how I prefer it. My brake lines all need replacing, and at least my front calipers, but I'm pretty new to the brakes game. Should I bother trying to replace them with stock compatible parts, or is it worth looking to installing newer parts like you are since it's going to be an investment anyway? Appreciate your knowledge, and looking forward to hearing about your swap and seeing pictures if you don't mind ��. If it works out well, it'd be nice to see all you did and all you needed to purchase to make it happen!

This is good stuff, I’ll look at my lines for length. Yes, when it happens booster and master cylinder will be upgraded as well.

Done! All went well and didn't have to cut/flare a single brake line. Complete 91' V6 OEM brakes from firewall to hub. Additional: Removed load sensing valve, new rear wheel bearings/seals, fresh diff fluid and Wilwood prop valve. Stops like it never did before.

Only cut/flared one line, at the rear deleting the original load sensing prop valve. So far this is very easy to adjust.
