"C" & "K" Series

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1998 GMC Yukon, and 1998 GMC Suburban. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Ensure rear axle is hanging free and valve is securely bolted to frame before height-sensing proportioning valve is adjusted. See Fig 1.
  2. Remove nut and lever assembly from valve. Rotate valve shaft to allow installation of plastic adjustment gauge No. GM 15592484. Seat "D" shaped center hole over valve shaft. Gauge must be positioned in valve mounting hole.
  3. Install lever assembly to valve shaft with a "C" clamp or locking pliers to seat lever nylon bushing on serrated valve shaft. DO NOT install lever using attaching nut. Doing so can result in improper valve adjustment.
  4. Install valve shaft nut and tighten to 80 INCH lbs. (9 N.m). Cut tang from body of adjustment gauge, and allow valve to rotate freely. Lower vehicle and test brakes.
