Bleeding brakes

[GmtGmt]

im trying to bench bleed my master cylinder but i cant seem to bleed the rear part of the master cylinder



it must be for the rear brakes but i cant get any brake fluid out where the brake line ataces even if i remove my plug and press the piston all the way in

the front one works and have been able to bleed it.

i dont know if the master cylinder is bad or not because it has been without brake fluid for like last 5 years or so it might have become bad.

is there are a way to open these steel one i have removed the snap ring but cant get the piston out

If you have the snap ring already out, and if you have access to an air compressor, then take an air nozzle and blow air through the master cylinder where the line threads in and the pressure should push the piston and seals out of the master cylinder (be ready for the piston to come out because it may come out fast)

I don't know if this will help or not, but I was having a very similar problem with my truck and I also couldn't get any help with bleeding the brakes. I ended up buying the Motive Products #0105 from Jegs.com, after reworking the mount system to actually allow the adapter to seal, it worked great. I am not one to buy into the latest gimmick, but this one is actually a pretty good one.

I would just buy a rebuilt master.
