Air in master cylinder. How do you bleed now?
OK, I forgot and let the reservoir go all the way down to where it allowed air into the MC. Now I am ready to bleed the brakes and get nothing for fluid going through the lines.
Should I bleed the MC by opening up each port at the MC or can I just "hope" eventually fluid will start to move through my lines? I originally only broke into the front brakes but do I need to bleed all of them even the back? Thanks, Ben |
You need to "bench bleed" the master cylinder. Yes, basically, you're gonna be undoing the lines affected (our systems are split into two circuits) and place a finger on the ports while someone presses the pedal gently. You let the air squeeze by and out until you get fluid, then re-connect the line(s). I'd google "bench bleed master cylinder" for a better explanation though.

Keep in mind to bleed the MC first, then the lines, or else you're just feeding air into the lines.
