"bench" bleed the M/C (both ports) on the vehicle then the front half (RF 1st then LF) then the rear half (RR 1st then LR). Caveat; have your helper open the bleeder just the right amt to let the air/fluid out & instruct him to hold the pedal until you close the bleeder and I like to have him use a block of wood under the pedal so it's immobile and he does not push the rubber seals past their normal wear area which over time may hasten their demise. A bit picky but (1) my opponent may not be so meticulous and (2) I know Murphy's law 1st hand. Get it up & running then you'll be in an excellent position to decide if you need a prop valve change

i think the prop valve you are talking about is the residual valve/line splitter (for the front)----- drum brakes have 12 in lb column pressure to keep the brake shoes close to the drum---when you go to discs you only need 2 in lb column pressure to keep the pads close to the rotor----you effectively dont need a residual on the front lines so you run the lines straight to a tee for both front calipers-----the way you say you are set up now your front brakes will lock up----dont go to far in your test drive you dont want a long tow home---as far as switching sides what you did was to put the bleeder zerk on the high side to let the air out--the way you had it the bleeder was at the bottom--it let alot of fluid out during bleeding but that nasty air pocket never disappeared----bob
