    No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve

    Wound up keeping the position & swapping sides. E brakes are unhooked (ratchet pedal may be toast). Hose now enters caliper below bleeder, which is horizontal but on top. That's the best positioning I can figure out, keeping the calipers above the hub (still a truck). Still gotta bleed more...

    No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve

    Update: Disc/ disc Mc & p-valve installed & bled (bench, then pressurized, then vacuum pump). Pedal still soft & zero caliper action front or rear. Next up is rotating the rear calipers (mounting bracket) forward to see if I'm trapping air. Thx again for the help.

Eliminated the load valve under...

    No line pressure to rear disc conversion, no prop valve

    I have been some, thx. I suspected I may be up against mismatched parts but wasn't sure. Factory replacement lines came as 1/4 to the rear & 3/16 up front. Will a disc/disc valve do the trick?
