That's exactly the reason I'm asking this question. I'm thinking that front braking increased by 20% would negate the "rear lock up " effect?
Here's a question for you.
Does anybody know if the GM Metric Oversized Front Brake Callipers (2-3/4") bore paired with the larger S-10 (7/8" bore) rear brake cylinders would provide a balanced braking bias? The oversized Metric Callipers claim they have about 20% more clamping force over the factory units.
Stock front Metric Callipers are 2-1/2" bore and rear brake cylinders are 3/4" bore.
I have the blazer front brake setup with the s10 7/8th rears with one long shoe and one short . I've never had any locking up issues . I also upgraded all the brake lines to the Russell's . They work well IMO
On my TB, GM metric oversized front calipers are used w/S-10 rear brake cylinders and vacuum brakes. I have tested these for the very issue you raise. My brakes have not locked up nor showm any noticeable bias despite a number of crude, heavy, slam on the brake, tests.
I got it on this evening , A socket and a C clamp done the trick
I made a tool with my lathe that make putting the round clip on much easier if someone wants to "rent" it.
Hey Michael,
Can I take you up on your offer?
OK, I"m struggling to get mine on too!
I guess I need a bigger hammer (LOL- so my wife tells me)......seriously, I'm thinking I need at least a 3 or 5lb dead blow hammer to be able to pound that sucker clip on! Can you tell me did you get on side on first then whack it on or not? Any helpful suggestions appreciated.
