(3) Bleed the brake system thoroughly to ensure
that all air has been expelled from the hydraulic sys-
tem. See Bleeding Brake System in the Service
Adjustments section in this group of the service man-
ual for the proper bleeding procedure.

PROPORTIONING VALVE (W/ABS BRAKES)
The actual proportioning valves of the proportion-
ing valve assembly are not serviceable or replaceable.
If a proportioning valve of the proportioning valve
assembly is not functioning properly, the fixed pro-
portioning valve must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVE
(1) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of
travel. This will prevent brake fluid from draining
out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are
removed from the proportioning valve.
(2) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubrication And Mainte-
nance Group of this service manual.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the proportioning valve, the proportioning valve and
the brake tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is
required to prevent contamination from entering the
proportioning valve or the brake tubes.
(3) Remove the 4 chassis brake lines from the inlet
and outlet ports of the proportioning valve (Fig. 132).

(4) Remove the bolts (Fig. 133) attaching the pro-
portioning valve bracket to the frame rail of the vehi-
cle. Remove the fixed proportioning valve assembly
from the vehicle.
