Rear Bias Valve Causing Hot Brakes?

[Yamaha V6]

Sorry, I misunderstood.

To check to see if the hoses of the bias valve is the problem unscrew the hose from the caliper. There should be a steady drip and if you push on the pedal it should easily without resitance go to the floor. Do this one side at a time of course.

Well, I think I may have found the solution to my problem, and you're not going to believe it. In my original post, I said that basically everything to do with the rear brakes was replaced (unfortunately by Ford -- didn't have a choice at the time), and most notably included in that list of replaced items was the flex lines. Well, I took my car to my independent mechanic to take a look, and he found that the flex lines are old, and likely the originals. He replaced them, and I've got the car back now. I'll have to drive it for a few days to be sure it cured my problem, but I'm pretty confident that I should be okay now. Needless to say I'll be paying Ford a visit.

I apologize for providing the wrong info in my original post (I wasn't aware that Ford did not perform the work they billed me for), and now that I've likely found the culprit, I'll be leaving the bias valve alone.

If I do plan to "remove" the valve from the system in the future, I'll consider the bias valve plugs, as they seem like a simpler solution. Thanx for all the pointers, and again, I'm sorry for the run around.

Corey, by "independant mechanic", do you mean Morris?
Are you going back to the dealership and get a refund?

Yep, Morris is my new best friend

I'm going to try to straighten things out at the Ford dealership, but to be honest, I'll just be happy if my problem is solved. Here's hoping...
