<div dir="ltr">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?<div><br></div><div>That said there is a spring that connects the lever arm to the frame the link below is for Jim Carter's site:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://oldchevytrucks.com/meb113.html">https://oldchevytrucks.com/meb113.html</a></div><div><br></div><div> --Miq</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 7, 2026 at 12:21 PM Smokey Culver <<a href="mailto:smokey@railops.com">smokey@railops.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg5161620328996728613">
<div>May be a silly question, but... I have after-market disc brakes on my 1950 3600. Recently redid the rear ones and all is working well. But when I press the brake pedal down to stop or slow down, it stays engaged and I have to release it with the toe of my boot. Is there a spring that I missed? Any thoughts?<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>Smokey Culver</div><div>League City, Texas</div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
