First suggestion: find out why the car is pulling to one side. That's the
only thing I see as "wrong". A couple of Panteras have had this problem and
both cured it by changing the front caliper on the side NOT pulling-
something was causing that unit to not respond like the other side- maybe a plug or
a mfg defect. Looking at the pads on the non-working side, you could see
there was only minimal contact with the rotor.
A competent driver doesn't need the 'shuttle valve'. All it tells you is if
fluid is low or pads are worn, and most of us do a once-over of such things
before firing up the engine. Unless you've screwed up the plumbing somehow,
the shuttle is not part of the pulling to one side, though. FWIW- J
