Bleeding A Master Cylinder
- Thread starter ProJunkRacing

bolt it on...
I've bled many right on the truck--just bolt it to the booster,run the bleeder hoses into the resivouirs,and pump the pedal until its bled!--I use a clippy clothespin to hold the rubber bleeder hoses in place..they MUST stay submerged or air will get back in the master cylinder..
I hate doing it in the vise!--I was doing it that way with my brother once,me blocking the hose ports with my thumbs,while he pumped the master cylinder with a screwdriver..brake fluid squirted right in my eyes!..you haven't lived until you know what that feels like!..think red hot branding iron in the eye--thats pretty close to how it feels!
