I finished swaping out my master brake cylinder from 17 to 19mm, no leaking. I keep pushing down the brake pedel with no resistance. If I keep pushing it down, will I eventually feel resistance or do I need to bleed the brakes first?
I pulled the new master cylinder and did not do anything before mounting there isn't anything special I should have done to it should I? Feedback is appreeciated. Thnx Brian |

I would at least bleed the left front caliper first to purge most of the air from the line and M/C. The last thing you want is to get air into the rear proportioning valve.
Then start bleeding at the furthest caliper and work back to the LF. |
