Brakes won't bleed
I have replaced my proportioning valve and I'm having trouble bleeding the brakes.
I started at the right rear and got a little fluid, then nothing. Moved to the left rear and nothing. Moved to the front right and got plenty of fluid. Then left front, more fluid, then nothing. Now I get nothing in the back no mater what. Is the cylinder in the proportioning valve shifted cutting off the flow to the rear? I guess that I do not understand the proportioing valve. I remember having trouble bleeding rears before and I ended up just gravity bleeding them by just leaving the valve open just to see what would happen. Why is this? |

Brake debugging can be a real pain. What kind of brake system do you have- discs or drums and is the system stock or upgraded? Did you replace anything else other than the proportioning valve? How did the brakes work before?

Replace the rubber hose in the rear and let us know the results. Sounds like it's collapsed.

Combination valve shifted and blocked off the rear brakes. Thanks for the input.
