Re: Can't bleed brakes
When the prop valve sticks after losing the rear brakes, some people have had luck unsticking it by bleeding the front brakes. You already did that right? One of my mechanic friends says he unsticks them by jumping on the brakes hard several times. That has only worked once for me. If either of those two techniques don't work you may as well buy another prop valve. Maybe the Mightyvac will work here too. Good luck.

Re: Can't bleed brakes
you will want to open the back i think that way the pressure is lower then on the front to slide the vavle over. before you do it i have had luck with taping on them first to help to get them to move better then crack the line. like was said tho if you have bleed them back and forth you may need a new prop vavle
