Hey there!
any tips on bleeding?

I can't seem to remove the air pockets seeming present in my brake lines after the swap. I already did have some before and now there's more it seems!

Re: Drums--->Discs SPELLED OUT

Sorry to resurrect an ancient thread, but my rear drums are nearly toast and I am really anxious to do this disc conversion instead of wasting cash on new drums. For LX models is the disc conversion possible without changing the proportioning valve? Would swapping the proportioning valve from any other models solve the issue? Thanks in advance!

From the prior posts It's not clear what specific proportioning valve is required for the LX models. I know I'm a newb on this board and appreciate your reply, but I am looking for insight from someone who has actually performed the rear disc conversion with an LX.
