Bench Bleeding Master Cylinder
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Sundance, 1994 Plymouth Acclaim, 1994 Dodge Spirit, 1994 Dodge Shadow, and 1994 Chrysler LeBaron. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Bleed tubes must have a residual pressure check valve installed to keep tubes from siphoning brake fluid.
- Clamp master cylinder in vise at mounting flange. Install bleed tubes in outlet ports. Fill reservoirs with clean brake fluid. Ensure bleed tubes are below brake fluid level.
- Slowly compress and release piston assemblies until bubbles no longer appear in brake fluid. Remove tubes, and plug master cylinder outlets to keep fluid from draining.
