Rear Brake Proportion Valve is evil and must be destroyed!


Recommended Posts

I am following up to this post:

Brakes on 1987 Sunrader lock up after replacement

I have an 87 Sunrader. My front right caliper was hanging up. I replaced the caliper. Better, but still hanging up. I replaced the master cylinder. It worked- the caliper is retracting...but while bleeding the brakes , the rear ones were acting like I've never seen on a bleed procedure- weird- both of the rear cylinders were just barely oozing fluid even though the brake pedal was being pumped at full strength by my lovely assistant. I will assume this is because of that dag-nabbit proportion valve.

Now it seems the pedal is just not as firm. I want to remove the rear proportion valve....so the rears are at full braking capacity all the time.

Suggestions on replacement? Can I just buy a T fitting at NAPA, or what?

Thanks to all!

Just disable the valve first and see what happens. Bend the rod so that the valve full up.
