To inspect the proportioning valve you have to open the rear half the system which then must be bled through at least one rear brake to make sure no air entered when you had the prop valve apart.
I believe Tom is asking that he check and see if a previous owner removed either the spring or seal from the prop valve. In order to make this inspection, the rear of the system has to be opened and therefore bled afterward. I don't believe he is saying needing to bleed the rears would contribute to the complaint.
yupppp that was it.After having my initial problem I called Tom and it was his suggestion that you must bleed them and then drive the car then bleed them again.It seems that by driving the car allows all the trapped air to move around enabling it to be removed properly.Do not ask my why air in the rear causes the rear to lock, sounds like it would be the opposite Well now I can actually get great peddle feel with what feels like much increased stopping power.The fronts will lock up but only if I really stomp.....this is a good thing I do want to thank Tom for standing behind his product all the way.He was even willing to drive an hour to me, any time I wanted to take a look at the brakes and figure out the problem.He told me from the start that I was one of the only guys who had this strange rear lock up and if we could not figure it out he would give me another set to try or return my money and send me back my original set You wont find me on here endorsing people all the time so take it for what its worth, Tom is a stand up guy with a stand up product. I hope to be at Lime Rock with it in early April and insted of dreding braking into Big Bend I know I will be ducking under and out braking alot of cars. Thanks for everyones concern and remember "Bleed Drive Bleed"
