Rear Explorer Brake question

[landshark]

So I had a leak from my proportion valve for the rear brakes that i fixed this evening and was about to bleed the rears when I noticed the bleeders were below the brake lines. Now call me (but not shirley) however are the backing plates on the wrong side? Most of the time calipers are mounted to the upper rear of the rotors, at least most of the ones i have installed or seen.

I haven't looked at any directions for installation as I'm not sure where the rear brake conversion was purchased (maybe BC or WH?) Am I correct in in assuming these are on the wrong sides and i will have to pull both axles and backing plates then remount them on the opposite sides with the ebrake cable at the top?

I think you got your answer on ACB. Sorry for the bad news.

the bad news would be I could never get hte air out of the system.. or worse they failed.. its an easy fixed just kind of a pain.. and going to be messy with gear oil dumping out but rather have it fixed and know its fixed. At least all the bolts are tight... which is not what I can say about allot of other stuff on this truck, I keep finding stuff that has moved, loose or not tight..

Says the guy who did a near frame off restoration in, what, a month? Two? What did this take you? 15 minutes? Lemme know what you need for me to borrow that machine that makes time standstill so I can get some work done on mine.

ha 15 min i wish.. i woudl have had the front fender repainted.. brake fluid = corrosiveness..

i think it took me 2 hours.. give or take.. did a few other things too

brake fluid = corrosiveness..

brake fluid on a paper towel, applied to a fender or hood makes for a good payback for triple parked Mercedes at the mall.
