There is a typo in the Haynes manual. The actual venting clearance is supposed to be .004. And you also have to bleed the proportioning valve. The brakes won't work correctly if you don't get all the air out of the prop valve. I personally dislike them, and replace them with a T fitting. The brakes feel better with less pedal travel if you do. |
