Problems with "Right Stuff" rear drum to disc system

Trey, your front disc may be interfering with bleeding the rears. Requires a helper but try this: helper applies brakes, you open front bleeder, then rear bleeder. when the pedal goes to the floor helper holds it there while you close both bleeders. If the front brakes are tightening up (like they should be), they'll stop the pedal travel before much of anything happens on the rear. A few rounds of this routine may make the difference.

I usually gravity bleed both ends of the car before starting on the pedal bleeding.

The idio .... helpful phone person at Wrong Stuff has no idea. Point is, those calipers need to be adjusted by using using the park brake regularly. The rear pads need to be up against the rotors like the front. The park brake lever is on a racheting deal sort of screws the piston in. You can sometimes work the lever by hand too, if there's clearance between the pads and the rotor.

Again, you have to got thru the routine with the park brake adjusters.

you can't expect to be able to bled the rears if the fronts are keeping the MC from pumping fluid back there. See post #9 for one way to work around it.

If you don't use the levers to adjust the pads up to the rotors you'll be flogging that thing forever.
 
Wrong Stuff not necessarily better than Inline Boob....
