1) Brakes must always be properly bled to function normally... very dangerous situations can occur if not. Don't mess with the system if you can't finish the job. All or none is the best principle as applied to the brake system.

2) The purchase of an EXCELLENT line wrench, or set, can not be overstated... this was just tackled in a recent post in the last day or two.

3) Dont waste any time trying to rebuild the valve... replace it.

4) Be prepared, when replacing the valve, to f*&k up a line or two... so start the job early in the AM and set up a possible ride with a friend, or family member, to a parts store that carries what you will need.

5) PBlaster is your friend!

6) The job is simply plug & play, but at total PITA! Check the FAQ & archives!

Peace, Jon
