Haven't been on here in a long time and it looks a little bare. Hopefully enough people still lurk around to help.
My issue is that after some troubleshooting, I narrowed down the culprit behind only the front passenger side not getting brake fluid. All the others bled fine (it's always the last one you do that's the problem) the passenger side not so much. Traced the issue to the proportioning valve. Finally got it off and after a few scrubs in my parts washer, and numerous cycles in an ultrasonic cleaner, the internals seem to be stuck and won't come up of the valve body. The good news is that fluid flows through all the orifices now, but not sure the proportioning valve is working right. It doesn't look like the part is made anymore, and I can't get it apart enough for a rebuild kit. So I need help with one of two things (or both).
1- Any hints on getting the internals out of the valve body? They seem to rotate, but that's it. I haven't pulled hard or anything for fear of messing up the parts, but they don't pull out at all.
2- Are there any alternatives from a later model ford product that would work? I'd imagine I'll have to build a bracket to make it mount in the factory location on the inner fender, but that should be pretty easy to solve.
Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.
