Brake valve not flowing to rear brakes.

So working in this brake setup with the new 1" master for the bigger front brakes. It's an 87 shelby Z G body 4 wheel disk.

It did have a bad brake line prior which pushed the brake valve over to prevent flow to the one side. I thought I had it centered and used my brake valve pin tool to prevent it from shifting so we can bleed them out.

Does anyone know the proper procedure for returning these to center?

I don't know what the the proper procedure is.

Kicking the brake pedal fast and hard has reset them for me.

Thanks

Okay will try the "open front bleeders and stop the pedal" and see what happens.

That didn't work, but when I did stomp it with them open it shifted but it's dinner time. So I'll check to see if it did free it up.

Haha no idea, don't have a battery In it and sensor isn't connected. Have the brake bleeding tool threaded in to the prop in place of sensor.
