This bulletin describes a modification which must be made to existing tool J 35856. This tool is used when pressure bleeding the brake system. J 35M "Proportioning Valve Depressor" has been replaced and superseded by J 39177 "Combination Valve Pressure Bleeding Tool" for the Kelsey Hayes combination valve on the above mentioned cars and trucks.

IMPORTANT: Failure to modify or replace J 35856 may result in an ineffective bleed or damage to the combination valve.

Dealers may order J 39177 to replace J 35856 or modity all J 35856 tools in the following manner:

1. Remove the red plastic handle from the tool.

2. Clamp the tool carefully but securely in a bench vise with the three prongs accessible.

3. File down the raised "dimple" from the center prong until the surface area is smooth. The removal of the "dimple" is all that is necessary to modify the tool. Attach the label provided to the modified J 35856 tool. Three labels will be shipped to each dealership Service Manager.
