George, the line coming out of the Break Valve is rubber for about 18 inches. Then it connects to steel, runs along the rear axel and goes into the caliper. I read a scenario at Goodspeed of a similiar circumstance. Volvo used to sell a rebuild kit for these units(273090-1) The valves were supposed to reduce pressure to the rear brakes so they wouldn't lock up. If I can't fix them I will remove them both. Better they lock up then have 75% of the breaks working with an accompanying loss of control.
