[Chevelle-list] master cylinder bench bleeding

[Daniel Solomon]

You can also pickup a plastic set at the local auto parts store. Got one a few months ago for 3 bucks. Comes with an assortment of plastic nipples, a clip to hold them in the reservoir and some hose.Godspeed, Dan Solomon"It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize you are in a hurry."http://www.freewebs.com/chevelles1970/

I always take extra line, screw them into the master cylinder, then bend them up and into the reservoir, so that the ends of these lines are submerged in the reservoir. Fill up the master cylinder with fluid, making sure the ends of the lines are submerged. Put the master cylinder in a vise, and push on the piston part of it with a screwdriver. You'll see bubbles come out from the lines...keep going and going and going and going(haha) untill no more air comes out. You could do this on the car also...which is what I did. That way you can just step on the brake pedal. But then you'd need somebody else to tell you when the bubbles stop. 
 
Pretty easy to do really. If you have any more questions just ask. -----Original Message-----From: ss454hillman at aol.comTo: chevelle-list at chevelles.netSent: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 6:10 amSubject: [Chevelle-list] master cylinder bench bleeding
Hi guys I had to replace a master cylinder on the 70 and I got the one with no bleeders on it. What is the process to properly bench bleed it?  Thanks  Steve
