Hang on to your old part for a spare. Heard a fair amount of new proportioning valves these days are defective, end up leaking.

So today got alot done, installed my disc disc valve and man was a pain in *ss to install... All brake pads and brake lines in, i did have a leak passanger wide where the e brake is located... Not leaking from brake lines..so im thinking i have a bad caliper/piston., and leaking down the rotor... I will check tomorrow for any signs of drips.. Will fully test drive next weekend.. Dont want to rush at this...

Brakes are bleed, and feel good... Heres alittle vid...dont mind the clinging, i had my wheel spacers on so they were moving back and fourth.. lmao... Little more bugs to get too and all should be good..

Ok so almost done with the brake set up, got to test drive on monday, and had some little things that need to be taken care of, my master cylinder is leaking like crazy!!!! so MC Rick had told me that he changed his Master cylinder for a bigger one and works out well under alot of pressure... I also had a rear passanger side axle leak!! Contacted Ace, and he will come back of to replace the seal and that should tackle that...

Over all it ran good! Stopping is so much better, feels like my durango and mustang when i brake, real good....I think everyone should get this set up done...takes alot of time and patients, but u will get there...Follow Skips youtube page and the rear will work out smoothly.. Also got my Master cylinder today, Rick is going to help me install it within the next couple of weeks, Ace is just one phone call away, just need to take some time away from the Malibu for a while and spend more time with the Family... Family comes first, cars can wait! Feel me.. Enjoy the pics..

Did you run the e brake

 

[Bumpin1ohmSS]

Lookin great!! Imma snatch a new Mc tomorrow And bench bleed it right quick. Ez job fam. Having a vice to hold the mc makes it even easier. Even tho you decided to run the calipers the correct way, you can still work the e-brake thing out later. Keep it goin bruh! I'm at a stand still on mine cuz ill need larger wheels to clear the 14" rotors. Can't have her sittin on blocks too long..
