I recently change all the brake lines from the master cylinder to the back wheels, since the above mention valve was broken, I by passed it and connected the line directly to the back wheels, after the line was bled I put the whells back on I made slow ride around the house (1 acre lot) everything went well so I tried it on the road it went well also. What do think of all this. Is it safe, I use this old van once in a while just to transport ply wood dry wall an stuff for the family. The van is not worth very much, I could'nt buy a used valve they don't any at the srap yard and TOYOTA dealer want $321.10 +tax that's about what the van is worth. Waiting for your answer THANK YOU Gilles
