[Oletrucks] Brake pedal

[MIQ MILLMAN]

Smokey didn't you swap out the master cylinder a couple months ago?  Maybe
you have air in the lines, or need to bench bleed the replacement master
cylinder-- this would cause the pedal to go to the floor.
Hydraulic pressure should push the pedal back up in a boosted system.  I'm
guessing that since you swapped to disc brakes, this would be the case?

That said there is a spring that connects the lever arm to the frame the
link below is for Jim Carter's site:
