Porportion valve
I have a '87 burb. I replaced the Porportioning Valve, now I can't get brake fluid past the valve. Any suggestions??

Re: Porportion valve
Reset the valve. Push and hold in the button on the front. It's under the black rubber cap.
You need to keep it held in until you're done bleeding. |

I pulled the wire connection out and screwed the plastic adapter in that was sent with it

The button has never popped out to push in.

Re: Porportion valve
How do you know that?
Do you have any brakes at all? What else has been done besides changing the prop valve. |

Re: Porportion valve
The newer valves don't need to be reset like the older ones.

Re: Porportion valve
Buy or borrow a vacuum bleeder and force fluid in from the bleeder, it should free up.

She needs it for work tomorrow, I pulled it back off and put the new one back on. It was just leaking. I'll tackle it again when I get a chance. I'm trying a vacuum bleeder and got nothing. |
