Anyone know exactly how to bleed the brakes?  I can't get any pressure to the 
rear.  I disconnected the line from the proportioning valve and nothing comes 
out so it looks like that's the problem.  The master cylinder is new and I 
bleed it before hooking it up.  The manual says something about holding out a 
pin on the end of the valve.  I didn't have to do this for the front brakes.

Also, the front connection is leaking where the line goes into the caliper.  
I have new lines and calipers that apear identical to the originals.  Is 
there supposed to be a washer on the connection or is it a pressure fit?   It 
may be that the holes in the caliper are too deep.
