That is the Rear Brake Proportioning Valve (also referred to as a Rear brake pressure regulator). Depending on the suspension position, it changes how much pressure is sent to the rear brakes. Depending on the situation, it may increase pressure (usually during high rear load conditions) or decrease the pressure to prevent unpredictable handling.
The 1995 Ford Taurus has four brake lines. There is a break line for each break. The brake lines go from the master cylinder to the brakes.

Brake bleeding is technique used on a hydraulic brake system in order to purge the brake lines of any air bubbles. Removing air bubbles allows for the brake system to function properly.
Block diagram is a pictorial representation of an idea or concept. Block diagram are easiest method. It does explain the system of function and working. These diagram use boxes connected to each other by links or lines. Each represents a function.
You can not use rubber fuel lines to replace the current brake lines due to the high operating pressure. You will need to replace them with brake lines, the rubber brake lines has a different construction to hold the pressure and not getting eaten away by the brake fluid, brake lines can hold over 2000psi when the pedal is heavily applied
Master cylinder brake lines are the most common brake lines on a the Chevy Malibu.
The hose goes from the diff to the frame, remove the two brake lines from the block on the diff, remove the mounting bolt, then disconnect the hose from the brake line at the frame. Install then bleed the brakes.
Yes. I'd replace the brake lines from the rear distribution block, but the answer is yes.
You remove the wheels to replace brake lines.
It should be pretty straight forward. The splitter block or porportioning block will have three inlets. One from the from the front and two going to the rear brakes. One will go to the left and one will go to the right. Just hook up the side closest to the wheel. Then you will have to bleed the air out of the lines. It is easier if you use a wrench for brake lines bc it surrounds the nut and prevents it from slipping. Use penetrating oil and let it set to get them aprt. Does that help?
The brake lines can be replaced by removing all of the retaining clips. The brake lines will need to be disconnected on both ends. Reverse the process to install the new brake lines.
Brake lines run from the master brake cylinder to each wheel, generally under the frame of the car.
