Well I followed the directions supplied from Yearone for my new master cylinder. Filled it with fluid and moved the plunger in and out till no more bubbles came up from the bottom of the resivors. Installed the mast. cyl. to the booster and hooked up the lines. I go to the passenger side rear wheel and attempt to bleed the system with a buddy pumping the brakes. No fluid will come out the line. Nothing. I'm puzzled? I followed everything to the tee. I even tried a pressure bleeder suck fluid from the mast. cyl. to the whl. cyl. and to the bleeder. Nothing. ??? o No: I'm a little frustrated and open to some helpful suggestions at this point. If anyone out there that might have any ideas or maybe address something I missed, your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you. John.
Is the brake warning light on by chance? I'm wondering if the proportioning valve might be stuck over to one side. Devon
Check what Devon said first. I have had problems bleeding the rears in the past, and would actually have to idle the engine to get it to bleed well, go figure.
i might have killed a few brain cells since i last bled brakes,but dont you do the closet to master first?ie,lf-rf-lr-rr.i would go look at my manual,but its in the shop & im in my undies :grin:
easy way to see if fluid is actually reaching the rear brakes, is to loosen off the bleeder screw on both wheel cylinders. fluid should just drip down from the m/c to bleeders. be sure brake pedal is in normal position as u will be applying no pressure, and the m/c is filled with fluid. another problem that can occur is the "T" connection at the rear axle has had the rubber hose portion collapse.
Thanks for the advice fellas. I'll head out to the garage and see if I can't make some headway on this. It's nice and I need to get the car out. John.
