E-6 Break valve

[Robert Britton]

Would not hold air pressure after shut down, took about an hour or
two to drain the tank. From under the front of the coach I could hear
air leaking and was able to isolate it to the break valve. To get to
it for repair, the front driver seat needs to be removed and under
the carpet there is an access plate to remove. Not much room to work
and to many air lines for me to mess with.....but for Ralph it's just
a walk in the park, hows the job comming along Ralph?
