On mine as I remember, the check valve was at the rear of the Master Cylinder. The steel brake line connects directly to it. It will unscrew from the MC then you should be able to take the guts out.

Got it.
If you are upgrading the brakes, don't half ass it. Go ahead and do EoH. It's worth every fricking penny.
There is some good info on www.championtrailerparts.com about converting the master cylinder if you stay with surge.

The TieDown bypass valve goes inline at the exit of the m/c. I had to drill and tap a 1/8" NPT hole for a return fitting into the reservoir of my m/c (Titan/DICO model 6). It was pretty easy, as the m/c was cast iron. Some m/c's have a provision for this fitting.

I can only comment on the Titan/Dico master cylinder but I would assume others are similar. On the Titan, you have to remove the plunger from the master cylinder, the residual valve is internal.

Just installed my Tie Down kits and was way impressed. Installation was a snap and couldn't have gone much better. The new hoses I installed when rebuilding the drums previously were even long enough to use w/o issue. Waiting on my reverse lock out valve to finish the job.
One concern was the size of the 9.6" rotors I installed. One supply rep I talked to said they would over heat on a load my size. After seeing them installed I'm hoping he's wrong. They appear tiny compared to the 10" drums I removed.
My bail out will be adding a second set to the rear axle if needed.
