Default 400 Sport Brakes????

I guess my thinkin was the 1 way would be on the line comin from the front,the rear would "t" in after the 1 way.The more I think about that,it probably wouldn't work either.I'll have to look at my trailblazer & see how they did it.Maybe swappin out a newer unit would work but i'd have to buy the rear carrier,brake,caliper & maybe swingarm.I noticed the footbrake on my tb works decent,though hard to get to.I guess i'll just have to learn to adapt.?Maybe a predator??

Before I removed my rear brake I split the rear from the front by disconnecting the
rear brake line from the junction block and plugging it off. I then used that line and
connected it to a "T" that I bought from NAPA. So I had the hand lever just for the
front and just the foot lever for the back. I had pretty good results with this
setup but I decided to remove the rear brake for weight reduction purposes.

have you tried to adjust the pedal? I have great back brakes onmy 97 sport. tighten the allen screw in the center of the brake foot pedal for more brakes mine will slide the back tires on the street.

Same here, tried the adjustments but the foot (mechanical) part of the brakes does nothing. The hand lever will lock them up so it seems that the only way to get just the rear brakes is the split brake kit. By the way I have replaced all parts on the mechanical side of the brakes.
