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.
