Bleeding a master cylinder Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting comnavguy User Jul 29, 2010, 4:18 PM Post #1 of 3 (2683 views) Bleeding a master cylinder Sign In The neighbor bought a new master cylinder, took it out of the box, mounted it in the car, filled it with fluid and now has almost no brake pedal. "Instructions? What instructions...about bench bleeding? OH! Nah, I didn't read that stuff." He thought bleeding the lines would also bleed the master cylinder. The question is: is it possible to bleed a master cylinder once it is in the car? If so, what is the procedure?

If it has ABS you could really make it hard though if you push air into that system. Just disconnect both lines from the master, fill it up and have someone slowly pump the pedal up and down while you hold light pressure over the ports with your fingers so it will push air out but not draw any in. Once you start getting a steady stream out of all the ports, then quickly hook up the lines without letting the master go dry. It's a little messy but it will get the air out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. comnavguy User Jul 31, 2010, 12:33 AM Post #3 of 3 (2673 views) Re: Bleeding a master cylinder Sign In Thanks for that.
