I soaked the valve in a tray of PB Blaster for two days and after several of attempts it moved and came out the plunger was coated with corrosion and the rear brake viens were also filled with the corrosion. I cleaned the bore with a brass wire brush and I think I got all of the junk out of he veins. the plunger cleaned up also. I am hoping the oil did not hurt the o rings going back on today. Thanks for all the ideas and help. Note: Air would not move it also when I tried 170psi

I have been working on this for days trying to get the plunger out. The plunger is in all the way and has the light energized. I will try and clean the passages but that still leaves me with the light shining at me. I can grab the plunger with needle nose but it will not twist or pull out. A different valve would sure be nice.

I understand that, but the ports are filled with white powdery substance so I am sure the veins are clogged and the valve will not come out I know it should slide to trigger the light but I have tried everything to remove the plunger but it is stuck forward. If you have any suggestions on how to remove the plunger I will try but if the ports are full of this substance I am not sure I can clean all the vanes thoroughly. And I think looking at your pictures if that valve slides forward it will restrict the flow to the rear brakes or backwards it will restrict the flow to the front brakes and that is how the light is triggered. I have experienced this also happening in older cars wheel cylinders when they sit for long periods of time since dot 3 fluids and moister do not work well together I have had to beat the pistons out of the cylinder. I think this is a good explanation on brake valves, very interesting

My Distribution Block is so corroded I can not get the valve inside to come out. it will not allow any fluid to the rear brakes other than the height portioning valve and then very little. I cannot post in the classified section for some reason I guess" not enough posts" So does anyone have a working one that I could purchase or do you know if new ones are available? I am in the St Louis MO area.

Both dome light fixtures will not stay up in holes' on side panels, I think clips are broken off. Is there any other Jeep light that will fit in the holes or were they only used on the Comanches?

Got it down with a lug wrench with a end for removing hub caps Thanks for the advice

The tire tools and jack has been lost on my most recent purchase of my 1991 Comanche and I would like to remove the spare tire from the mount. I do not know what the release tool looks like on the end that goes in the tube. is it flat or square or ? Can someone give me a clue so I can manufacture one?
