Stuck proportioning valve

Chumley · 02-02-2008, 04:41 PM

When I bled my brakes, the proportioning valve button that is supposed to be depressed while bleeding was stuck in that position. Is there a way to make it pop out again? ( preferably while still mounted and the brake lines connected to it)

Thought I would refresh this post since some who might be able to help might have missed it.(Joe?) Thanks Chumley

The button hardly moves. If you are able to bleed the brakes and they work correctly, you don't have a problem.

Thanks Joe, I just thought that the button should depress enough that you would notice it, as the GM repair manual refers to a special GM tool (J- something or other) that you use to hold the button in while bleeding. I started the engine today and the pedal feels "normal" as far as I can tell. The real test is on the road. Just how much is "hardly at all"? Thanks....Chumley
