In the process of rebuilding my pedal cluster I put in a new master cylinder. Had to get a pedal cluster from a donor car and rebuilt it. Installed new master cylinder and rebuilt pedal cluster. Filled brake fluid resevoir worked brake pedal. No fluid movement out of resevoir and no resistance at pedal. Do I need to force the fluid into the system? What am I missing?
First time. sr |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The first thing is if you got the pushrod in the center of the cylinder - I use an 11mm wrench to hold the pushrod in midposition and slide the MC over. I won't say why I developed this method (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Secondly, is the length of the pushrod - it really shouldn't be a factor, but if it is to long and doesn't allow the piston to fully return, you will never be able to build pressure. |
