repairing brake distribution valve?

[abas]

I was about to refit the brake distribution valve on my 240z ( that is the valve which the master cylinder pipes go into and the front brake and rear brake pipes come out of, and is attached to the drivers side inner wing/fender) , and I find it is full of crystallized brake fluid residue. Can anyone tell me whether it is OK to take this apart and clean it or should I look for another one?

thanks for any help

Hi Andrew, yes go ahead. Its actually the proportioning valve.

Undo the plug in the bottom of the valve and remove the copper washer and spring, then give it a good tap down on a soft wooden block to remove the piston.
