Default sp. procedure for brake flush after PROP. VALVE swap?

just swapped over a bigger mc and a prop valve from a del sol si into my 93 dx hatch and i thought i recall hearing somewhere that after a prop valve change you are supposed to bleed it a certain way aside from the farthest-closest method.

anyone hear of this or am i just derp

Hope you bench bled that MC.

With any opening of the brake system you really should bleed the system and yes the helms manual states you bleed from furthest away from MC to closest. Some may argue the opposite, closest to furthest. In any case bleed it and bleed it well.

Mind as well do the clutch fluid too if you have a hydro tranny.

it was bench bled.

i know that they need to be bled as i changed mc, prop, and rear brakes, so there's like no fluid in the lines at all, i know how to bleed them the "usual" way but i was told there was a special sequence after u change the prop valve.

someone on here told me that napa has a brake bleeding book so im going to stop on by there thanks
