Hello,

You should always remove the warning valve switch whenever you bleed the brakes on the early Volvos with a warning valve to prevent damage to the switch.

However, we have NEVER had a warning valve cause a brake bleeding problem.

And if the warning valve could cause a bleeding problem, it should cause a problem with all the brakes on 1 circuit.

You are describing having problems bleeding one rear brake and since you have the brake hoses, you problem can only be a stuck or plugged brake proportioning valve.
