Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in the Preface section.

Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in the Preface section.

Notice: There is a first design and second design of brake pipe flare for the hydraulic brake pipes and system components used on this vehicle. Do NOT mis-match flare types. If the flare types are mis-matched, damage to the pipes and/or components, and/or a brake fluid leak may occur.

1. Place a shop towel under the proportioning valve assembly to catch any brake fluid loss.

Important: Prior to disconnecting the brake pipes from the proportioning valve assembly, note the locations of the brake pipes to the valve assembly, to aid during installation.

2. Disconnect the caliper and wheel cylinder brake pipes (1) from the proportioning valve assembly.
3. Cap or plug the brake pipe ends to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.
4. Disconnect the master cylinder brake pipes (2) from the proportioning valve assembly.
5. Cap or plug the brake pipe ends to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.
6. If the proportioning valve is to be reused, plug the ports to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.



7. Release the forward lamp wiring harness from the proportioning valve assembly bracket.
8. Remove the proportioning valve assembly bracket mounting nut and mounting bolt.
9. Remove the proportioning valve assembly from the vehicle.

1. Install the proportioning valve assembly to the vehicle.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

2. Install the proportioning valve assembly bracket mounting nut and mounting bolt.
