aluminum proportioning valve block, stainless steel piston, hardened steel
spring, soft steel brake lines, this is galvanic corrosion waiting to happen.
Mine was a big gob of cauliflower. I cut the whole thing out and put in a
"tee". Done. Did it with both my 20v's. It has ABS. either with or without
the proportioning valve, when that circuit operates, both brakes will experience
a loss of brake pressure because they're on the same circuit. full braking with
both rear wheels. The back has never locked up before the front on my car.
As for the yoke with the two e-brake cables, I was able to squeeze a hand up
there with a 10mm deep socket. I have a stebro st. st. exhaust on both cars,
and i think they give sufficient room to work above on the e-brake adjustment
rod. It is a pain. I agree with the parafin, as the next time I get under
there it'll be one big gob of rust. yay.
