Default Proportioning valve nuts seem to be locked.....

Doing rear swap. Was going to putting in the 40/40 prop valve, couldn't undo the 10mm nuts on the one that's currently on the car. WD40'd them and am letting them sit till tonight.

Can anyone give me an idea if they are supose to be that hard to take off. I pretty much almost striped one already.

couldn't get it to come off, even got a flare wrench. I just gave in. Let my mechanic do it, bleed the brake system, and give it an oil change.....

he looked at me like you swapped what... was so funny.
