Joe and others,
Thanks for the help on this. First, I think the light is on but it is my father-in-laws car and I really don't remember. I will try late this week to see if I can find the happy medium on getting this valve checked back over. My thought on pressurizing the system from the rear might just be the ticket to this problem. It could push the valve back over to the center while the fronts are sealed. Never mind htat it could force out some ugly fluid also... I think I have to be gentle though or I could damage some older seals somewhere.

So what is this button you are talking about. I don't remember seeing it anywhere, but I wasn't looking either. What years did they start putting on this button?

I was thinking before that I would have to remove the extension hose from the rear and blow in to that hose. I think now I might be able to apply 10-20 PSI at a bleeder with no problems as the entire brake system is intact drums included. The new wheel cylinders should be able to handle 20 PSI easy. Thoughts?

Again thanks for the input...
