Bleeding brakes with prop valve different?
 
Swapping out my rear wheel cylinders and wondering if I need to do anything different when I bleed the brakes because I have an adjustable prop valve by my rear drums? Need to reset before bleed or after...? I have discs up front if that changes things.

Thanks for the input.

Just leave the adjustable prop valve be. As long as you have it where it flows fluid to the rear, you should be good. If you haven't adjusted it before hand, I would say just put it 50/50 then back it off to the way you want them after bleeding. Then pump up and bleed the left rear first, right rear second, front right third, and drivers front last.

If you can, put the adjustment on the proportioning valve to 70 front and 30 rear. That about the way you should run it.
