Kenneth,
I don't remember how we did the emergency brakes,
but the big thing with the valve is to have weight
on it or there is very little fluid going to the
rear which makes bleeding it very hard; so we just
bled them with the car on the ground as that may
have
been the easyist and surest way. I'm sure if you
can put the lever in the same position to
approximate
the car in full down position, it will work fine.
