my cobra brake system is screwed up, my driver side rear brake rotor is thrashed real bad, i guess the caliper is stuck or something, i cant get my car to the shop till next week, so i was thinking that i would just lower the rear break pressure as much as possible, so i dont damage the brake anymore then it already is, but im not sure if i turn the proportioning vale clockwise or counter clockwise to get full brake pressure to the front, please let me know
thank you
steve

Adjusting it all the way out gives you the least pressure to the rear brakes. I want to say counter clockwise, but it has been awhile since I touched it. You should be able to tell which way is out...the knob will rise as you turn it.
