OK I like it.
First, no, the new brake package said nothing related to the proportioning valve at all, but then again it also came without the first farkin instruction at all. Of positive note was that it was an all inclusive package including every nut bolt and clamp and their was no new proportioning valve.
I did, as you suggested, check the wheel bearings by the method you recommended on Friday when I was checking for drag. seemed nice and tight. I'll check them once again as I get into the rear brakes.
Over the years I have done several brake jobs so this shouldn't be that difficult from what you say as long as few hidden glitches don't pop up.
Thanks for taking the time and helping
