Talking Re: Proportioning valve: symptoms of being bad

Conversely if one rotor is considerably hotter on either the front or the rear, than the other it would appear that you have a seized piston in the that caliper . Good Luck Steve.
If bench bleed means bleeding the MC with the 2 lines off of it then yes I did though I really don't see what that bought me as the entire system was empty anyway.

Thanks for the test idea. Wish I would've thought of that. That makes a huge difference to have something to actually be able to test for rather than popping all the lines off and doing a valve pressure test.
