    I pulled mine apart last week and didn't see the O ring. Is it inside the valve.

    see the bolt with the black rubber thing on the front of this valve?

    remove the bolt. you will see a spring, a shaft, and the o ring type thing in there. remove the ring, and put the rest back. there is really nothing to it. 5 minutes. and you may, or may not need to bleed your breaks. when i took mine out the pedal was still very firm, but i bled em' anyway.

    Where is the O ring? Is in in the valve or on the cap?

    removing the o ring works well. i did it for mine, and it is as if it were designed for the disci in the rear. your tj should be no problem at all with this. my late model yj, and your tj have the same booster.
    the 88 yj has a weaker booster, and it (the pedal) was a bit soft after removing the o ring, but, still stopped fine.
    good luck

    otherwise, i've got a prop. valve from a ZJ with your name on it
    I looked at that and the only o ring I saw was on the bolt that goes inside. Wasn't sure if that was the one to remove. I'll take the ZJ prop vavle.

    Wilwood makes a nice adjustable prop valve

    Aftermarket adjustables are cool. We use them on the Race Car. When I finally get my D30 for the front, it will have Disc, and then someday a disc brake conversion for the D44 in the rear. Someday!

    I haven't done the valve yet. I haven't decided if I will wait till after the Rubicon before I do it.
