master cylinder

Any help in information on bleeding a master cylinder would be appreciated. I know how to bleed the brakes at the wheel, but I assume this is different.

thanks for the reply, I will try that next time. we got this one to work by drilling a small hole in the reservoir cap and blowing 20# of air through the system from the cap down. We bled one wheel at a time.

Get a pump that will fit in a container of brake fluid. Open the bleeder at the wheel cylinder and connect hose from pump to bleeder. Pump and it will push the air up and out of the master cylinder to the fill reservoir.

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
