Default 1996 Sierra back brakes
Hi, I replaced the rear brake line on my truck. How do you reset the proportional valve to bleed them? Thanks Bruce

I was told I have to hook it to a computer to reset, because I have ABS brakes. Is this bull or is it a fact? Thanks Bruce

no...but there are special procedures to bleed that big box on the fender...a decent manual SHOULD spell it out

Can you give me a title of a manual that would cover the procedure?
