Bench Bleeding

Bleeding Master Cylinder:

NOTE: It is not necessary to bleed the entire hydraulic system after replacing the master cylinder if the master cylinder has been bench bled and refilled prior to installation.

1. Clamp master cylinder in vise and attach bleeding tubes.
2. Use residual valve on outlet of each bleeder tube.
3. Fill both reservoirs with approved brake fluid.
4. Depress push rod slowly and then allow pistons to return.
5. Repeat several times until all air bubbles are expelled.
6. Remove bleeding tubes from cylinder, plug outlets and install caps.
7. Remove from vise and install master cylinder.
