After you center the piston in the proportioning valve, open the bleeder screw on one of the rear brakes and let it gravity bleed. It will take a couple of minutes, when some fluid comes out close it and then do the other side. This gets fluid in the lines and won't cause the valve to shut off when you bleed the system.
