• Q: How to replace the Brake Proportioning Valve on 2007 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Before you handle the proportioning valve replacement make sure to follow instructions about brake fluid hazards during the process. Make simple marks and labels with tape on the brake pipes ahead of installation. Open the proportioning valve by removing its 2 brake pipes then seal them with bleeder valve caps as a protective measure. After disconnecting the 4 brake pipes from the proportioning valve you should use caps to seal their ends. Remove the two nuts holding the bracket and withdraw the proportioning valve assembly from the vehicle. Set the proportioning valve assembly into position and fasten it with the two bracket nuts at a torque of 10 N.m (89 lb in). Hook up brake lines with the brake pressure modulator valve properly to stop wheel lock after confirming for wheel runout using Scan Tool or Antilock stops. Remove the tape marker for brake pipe locations before installing fitting caps to connect the 4 brake pipes with the proportioning valve and tighten each fitting to 20 N.m (15 lb ft). After setting the 2 bleeding pipes you must attach them to the proportioning valve and fasten them securely at 20 N.m (15 lb ft). Next bleed the brake system through the Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding (Manual), (Pressure).
