Go online and search for POL prop valve tool. Use this tool to hold your proportioning valve internals centered while you bleed the brakes. This inexpensive trick works great.

Thanks Mr. Rat!
I've been bleeding my brakes for many years and never knew this tool existed. The way things work I'll probably need one on the next bleeding. Is this a universal tool? Are proportioning valves all the same to use this tool?

This tool fits the GM prop valves.
