Hello guys hows everybody? My first post. Seeking some assistance. I've upgraded the front brake to disk on my '51. Ordered the kit from scarebird. Have new master cylinder, adjustable proportioning valve, 2 pound residual valve front, new lines. The brake pads will not let loose of the rotor. Unless u crack open the bleeder valve, then pads fully retract. Any ideas?
Check the adjustment on the push rod on your master cylinder.
It's supposed to be fun!

That was it! It needed to be adjusted a bit. Thank you.
Nice looking '51! See you at a convention down the road.

I hope to soon.
