Service Brakes (Rear Wheels)

Some models use a proportioning valve in the line to the rear wheels. This valve limits the pressure to the rear brakes so that the rear wheels will not lock up in a hard stop. Corvette rear wheels have disc brakes which are similar to front wheel units. Unless noted, servicing procedures for Corvette rear brakes are the same as for front brakes.
