Brake Valve Identification and Advice Needed

[enio45]

Scott, couple of questions??

What symptoms does this valve exhibit when it fails so we know when to rebuild it?

Does the removal tool come with the kit and how do you re-insert the part removed?

If you provide replacement springs, are you able to provide the correct spring rate required so that the performance is the same as the original.

I like your kit and would buy one subjet to understanding the above?

What is the real function of the valve?

Great post - thanks

</div></div>It could, but it's easy to make from parts bought at your local hardware store. It's probably cheaper to make your own puller. That's why I provided the specs for the bits needed to make the tool. The seat can be press-fit back into place by screwing in a brake line fitting.

Great post - thanks</div></div>It's used to detect a difference in brake fluid pressure between the front and rear portions of the system, usually as a result of a fluid leak.
