    EXPLODER DISK REAR

    I got a call from a friend who cannot get a solid pedal on his 55. It has an 8.8 disk brake Ford. Do these need a fully functioning emergency brake to work right.

    Those, unlike others, have the e-brake entirely independent of the hydraulic brake. The e-brake is a mechanical drum brake, and the drum is the ID of the rotor's hat. So the e-brake isn't in the caliper at all.
