I’m done with the axle and disc brake swap on my 14 bolt, but… one of the calipers is leaking brake fluid, again. I’ve rebuilt it and the “two way valve” keeps leaking. How do I or what do I do to fix this?

What is that one of those flapper type valves?
It’s called a two way valve. One side leaks and the other doesn’t.

That yellow thing wasn’t on my calipers. They were solid. You sure you got the right calipers?
These are the 78’s with the parking brake. I’ve looked up the parts list / exploded view, and the piston parts list does have that “valve” for that caliper.

Weird, mine are also the same but were copied by TSM. Maybe they deleted that part on their version, or maybe I just ever saw it.
My 76 Eldo calipers (pulled from a junkyard) have these little rubber inserts too. The problem is the seal inside the piston assembly allowing leakage into the body of the piston. I was able to re-hone the inner bore of the caliper and reseal the one I had that was leaking from there. Requires a full caliper tear down to get to everything. And you still might not be able to get it to seal up and quit puking fluid.
