Thanks Cliff, I won't do anything to it, just leave it "as is" because the brakes worked fine before taking the parts off the car.
Maybe you could also tell me why the front line is 3/16" and the rear is 1/4", is this just to avoid mixing them up or does it have a purpose Kind Regards André -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Cliff Simpson Sent: 3. mai 2002 21:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Brake Job Tigergutt wrote: > I'm finally going to bleed the brakes and the clutch tomorrow, but I > could need some help. from the master there are two outlets, one 3/16" > and one 1/4". the 1/4" line goes directly to the proporting valve on > the frame while 3/16" line goes through a valve or something like that > placed right under the master, it has a inlet an outlet and a button > on the backside which was covered by a rubber cap. I believe it's called the brake metering valve. It's a feature of all mixed disc and drum systems but it's almost always a part of the combination valve (picture at http://www.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/Tech/Combo.jpg shows the combined valve with the metering valve at left side.) Only the early disc cars have the metering valve as a separate part. Supposedly you should hold that valve open (or closed, I forget which) when you bleed the brakes but I don't think most people worry about it. Oh, and if it ever gives you problem most brake shops will never figure it out <long story goes here> Most shops don't understand the older brake systems enough to actually diagnose a problem beyond "We'll have to replace everything." :( -- Cliff Simpson http://www.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/ ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
