What does the CJ power brake conversion kit include?
Includes mounting bracket, linkage, a new brake booster, a new master cylinder, and the necessary bleeder kit. This kit worked great. You have to alter the steel lines to the MC but that’s about the only mod necessary. Easy install except that whoever packaged it didn’t include the vacuum hose or brass fitting.
Why are my brakes not working after bleeding and new master cylinder?

Why are the brakes not working on my Jeep?

Could it be that the axle nuts were tightened too tight?

Why are my disc brakes not working properly?

How often do you need to bleed a brake conversion kit?
Some systems need to be bled 2-3 times. Determine if you have a proportioning valve and/or a hold-off valve.
