All you need to do is screw out the push rod on the master cylinder a little but, since the disc brake calipers require a little more fluid to engage than the drum brake wheel cylinders. If you have a manual like me and depend on you p brake, then you have to get creative with the cables and brackets as well since the Exploder cables are shorter and will not interchange with the Ranger's drum brake p brake cables.

so i need to get the "Y" from the expo and fab a bracket??
o and btw bleeding the brake was not as hard or time consuming as i was led to belive
when i went and got it i had the guy cut the metal part of the brake line and that crimped it and allowed no air or fluid to enter or escape =)
i did flush 2 bottles trhough it to get the old stuff out though

Shouldn't need to fab a bracket...don't think you do anyhow. I was going to use the expo's bracket through the front spring bolt, then upen up the connector that goes in between the cable sections on the side of the frame. Would make a factory looking install, which is what i'm after for all my mods pretty much. Plumcrazy needed to make a bracket because of his longer leafs and his mount moving.
