cleaning brake bias valve

[sporty-bloke]

ive got no brake fluid going to the n/s/r brake caliper

i want to take off the rear brake bias valve and clean it to see if there's a blockage, how easy is it to clean? how do i clean it?

pressure bleed it (eazibleed type thing) open nipple and manipulate the valve arm up and down, watch what happens

cheers fred

its definately blocked, i took the pipe off going in to the valve and fluid came out, so fluid is going in..... i took the pipe off above it and no fluid came out the valve, so the valve must be blocked

when you say undo the nipple, is that the nut thingy under the valve?

Also Fred...

Presuming I do the above, can I do it with the output pipes taken off to see if any fluid is flowing through the valve when I move the arm up and down?

Cheers

No luck with the pressure bleed :-( is there any other way to clean/unblock it? Or do I have to buy a new one?

Whats the name of the guy on here who works at Renault parts dept. who gets parts cheaper?

Cheers
