Evidently the valve must be spring-loaded because it did reset itself overnight. At least that's what I guess by hooking a test light to it: no light = no ground. So now I'll do what you suggested and gravity bleed to equalize fluid in the front and rear. But I'll probably also use the trick little tool. Thanks!
