If you look at the GU repair manual under the "Brakes" section (BR) it gives you a diagram of the valve and lever and a table which tells you distances between certain points as a means for adjustment.

I rebuilt my brakes not long ago and found the grease had dried out and gone stiff. Worth a check Jonathan, just in case.
IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.

the 4 inch lift would have ment new brake lines front and rear yes? i bet you still have some air in the fronts. took me farkin ages to get all the air out when i reco'd my calipers and changed the lines
Yes the fronts are a nightmare to bleed. Regular bleeding didn't work, so I tried gravity bleeding and it did the trick. Solid brake pedal. Dead easy as well. Hook a hose up to the bleeder and crack it open. Have the brake reservoir open, so the fluid will flow and can be topped up. 20 mins per wheel, just dripping away into a bucket. Worth a shot and very little effort.

Funny you post this now as today me and a mate were driving down into Walhalla, I was towing the camper and when we got into Walhalla both our GQ's had smoke coming from the rear left brakes
As was the same with me coming into Captains Flat.....?Originally Posted by Winnie
I have not had a chance to look at it yet as I spent the weekend shooting and the rest trying to be the perfect husband and dad.
The brakes were bled at the workshop by Georges brother and I can tell you they were done properly.
The lines went in before I went to 4 inch lift.
I have just not long ago put all new discs and pads too
Mine did then as well
Was having a read and the distance on the spring with the brake depressed should be 220mm long, I have not had a chance to check this as yet as I do not want to start the car just so I can check the brakes.. This is a starting point anyway.
It does not mention in the manual that I could see about the plunger being depressed at all?
I'll check mine at home tonight
