Bench bleeding master cylinder
What would be the difference in bleeding the master cylinder before you install it as opposed to after? This would be before you hooked up any brake lines to it. After you bleed it you would hook up the brake lines and bleed it again normaly.

Re: Bench bleeding master cylinder
the whole world....
if you bench bleed the master and reinstall the lines and pump up and bleed each fitting at the master you can get away from having to bleed the complete truck and save tons of brake fluid..and about 1 1/2 hours. and possiable broken bleeders on the wheel cyl's Last edited by rage'nrat638; 04-06-2006 at 07:59 PM. |

Re: Bench bleeding master cylinder
I let them gravity bleed, an easy way to flush the system. then slowly pump them up and bleed at the caliper or wheel cylinder.
I have had proportioning valves stick on me when I haven't bench or gravity bled the mastercylinder Last edited by qksilver; 04-07-2006 at 01:54 AM. |
