IM sure most guys reading this thread are totally clueless about how or where that bias-spring gets installed, is there any chance one of you gentelmen could expand on the installation process or might even have pictures???:thumbsup:

yes I know its not difficult and its easy to access but ID bet 80% of the guys don,t know how


hint that big hex bolt on the end of your master cylinder should be a clue and don,t forget to keep track of the order the parts go into the master cylinder, and youll NEED TO BLEED ALL FOUR WHEEL BRAKE CALIPERS AFTER THE INSTALL
the exact process varies slightly on differant years, but this should give you some idea,
remove warning switch, unbolt screw cap on end of master cylinder, remove cap, spring, and o-ring. then remove combination piston. Remove snap ring on piston, remove stock spring from inside, replace with new spring reassemble, reinstall. Bleed brakes from all 4 calipers and you are done
the bias spring has near zero effect on low load braking but a noticable effect on high load braking
