Load Compensator: Service and Repair
CAUTION: The components of the proportioning valve assembly are not serviceable or replaceable. If a component of the proportioning valve
assembly is not functioning properly, the proportioning valve must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVAL

draining out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are removed from the proportioning valve.
2. Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a hoist.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from the proportioning valve, the proportioning valve and the brake tubes must be thoroughly
cleaned. This is required to prevent contamination from entering the proportioning valve or the brake tubes.
