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 |

1.) Fill brake fluid reservoir.
2.) Crack lines leading from MC to brakes and let it drip for a period of time (you can slowly push on pedal also) to fill the MC ... This assumes you have the push rod centered correctly. 3.) Tighten MC connections. 4.) Starting with caliper fartherest away (Pass side rear to you), start bleeding. 5.) Move to Drivers rear. 6.) Move to Pass front. 7.) Move to Drivers' front. 8.) Repeat 4 - 7 as many times as necessary. I use a vacuum pump. Some use a pressure bleeder. Some use somebody elses' leg. |
