Master Cylinder: Bleeding

  1. Before installing master cylinder to vehicle, bleed unit. Support assembly in a vise and fill both reservoirs with fluid. Install plugs in brake outlet ports.
  2. Loosen plug in rear outlet port and depress primary piston slowly to force air out of cylinder. Tighten plug while piston is depressed to prevent air from entering cylinder.
  3. Repeat procedure until no air is evident. Proceed to the front outlet port when rear is bled, ensuring that rear plug is tight. Piston travel will be greatly restricted when all air is expelled. Remove plugs, install cover and diaphragm.
