Porportioning valve leaking-questions

[Royalgtp]

My passenger side rear proportioning valve is leaking a bit. Brake pedal is still firm and I haven’t noticed any fluid loss, but its definitely leaking very slowly.

Quesiton is, how much is this part $$ to replace and how hard is it? It looks easy to take off and then all I would need to do is bleed the brakes, correct?

I’ve never really come across this on the forums here, kind of weird.

Just be sure that it is the block that is leaking and not a crack/break in the line. You will need to bleed the brakes after this, but only the rears. May be a good time to change your brake fluid, since you are getting into it anyway.

Bleed and drained em about 25k miles ago!

Off hand, how much is this part? Ive never heard of anyone else talk about these on our GTPS...

they commonly stick rather than leak. ive replaced a couple at work, i just went through and bled all the brakes anyway. dont remember how much, but it wont break the bank..
