The P&B valve contains two sections, each serving a
different function.
The proportioning section of the P&B valve proportions
outlet pressure to the rear brakes after a predetermined
rear input pressure has been reached.  This is done to
prevent rear wheel lock up on the vehicles with light rear
wheel loads. The valve has a by–pass feature which
assures full system pressure to the rear brakes in the
event of front brake system malfunction. Also full front
pressure is retained in the event of rear brake
malfunction.
The P&B valve is not repairable and must be replaced as
complete assembly.

Removal

1. The P&B valve is not repairable and must be replaced

as a complete assembly. Care must be taken to
prevent brake fluid from contacting any painted
surface. 

2. Remove hydraulic pipes (1) and plug the pipes (1) to

prevent the loss of fluid or the entrance of dirt.

3. Remove bolt (3).
4. Remove P&B valve (2).
