[Peugeot-L] 84 505 STI: some brake questions

From: kenneth parker <elkeni_at_mac.com>

        Tomorrow I plan on changing the brake proportioning valve on my 84 505 STI sedan. The old one leaks. In addition, I have trouble getting the e-brake to catch and on hills, with the e-brake on full it doesn't quite do it. The pads are good and properly installed (re: slot in ratcheting mechanism). I have adjusted the e-brake cable nuts in as far as they can go to take out any slack.

        My questions are:
1. Am I supposed to hang some sort of weight on the lever below the proportioning valve for an adjustment and, if so, how much weight, where and what is the adjustment procedure. 2. Is there a way to check the ratcheting devices on the rear to see if they are truly functional and, if so, what is that way. Thanks,
Ken
