Jim,Guess you will get to the "sunset finish line" first and be 1 beer up on me. Me and the wife will be right behind you, and I can drink fast when we doget there.Hopefully there will be no "next time" to change a master cylinder, but ifthere is, think I will stick with works for me. Old and set in my ways I guess.

Just put your finger over the brake pipe ports.And once the master is bolted on, just take a few pumps out of each wheelcylinder, and thats it. Been doing it for years, and will only do it this way. Try it some time, and get back to us all?

What istokeep air from getting in the cylinder when you put it on the vehicle? I have upgraded 2, 65 Satellites to dual cylinders and did no more thanboltthem up, run the additional lines, bleed the brakes and drive off intothe sun set. Interesting......sounds like a mess to me.

I always fit a duel circuit to all my classic cars, so what I do is bleed the front outlet 1st. Now to do this, is clamp the master cyl into the bench vice.Next, only pour brake fluid into the front part of the master cyl, and then push in the piston with a blunt screw driver and having your fingerover the brake pipe port. Keep doing this to the front reservoir till all the air is out.Now, fill the rear reservoir and do the same, but this time place yourfinger over both the brake pipe ports. And once you feel you have all the air out, should take quite a few pushes, then bolt the master cylinder to the car, and fit the brake pipes. You will still have to bleed the whole brake system, but doing the master cyl on the bench makes the bleeding process alot quicker. I hope I have described this well enough to you?

Given a choice I would not like to remove and reinstall it and I'll be dealing with amaster cylinder that is dripping fluid.
