The brake pedal on my 914-6 is very spongy, even after repeated bleeding with a pressure bleeder. I isolated the problem to the brake-proportioning valve or pressure regulator. I cannot seem to get the brakes properly bled with this valve in the system.

I've read other posts by some here and it seems this valve is a source of some debate . Is there some trick to bleeding the brakes with it? Do I need to bleed the brakes the old-fashioned way, have someone push on the brake pedal?
