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 do get there. Hopefully there will be no "next time" to change a master cylinder, but if there is, think I will stick with works for me.
Old and set in my ways I guess. Ollie----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim" <jimfmd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

OllieIf we both had similar cars parked side by side, and you fitted the master cylinder your way, and I fitted it my way, I would be driving off into the "sunset" quicker than you.Just put your finger over the brake pipe ports.And once the master is bolted on, just take a few pumps out of each wheel cylinder, 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 is tokeep 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 than bolt them up, run the additional lines, bleed the brakes and drive off into thesun set. Interesting......sounds like a mess to me.

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 finger over 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 your finger over both the brake pipe ports. And once you feel you have all the air out, should take quite a fewpushes, 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 mastercyl on the bench makes the bleeding process alot quicker. I hope I have described this well enough to you?

I had to install the master cylinder to do the piping but it has never had fluid in it. Do I really need to bench bleed the master cylinder? Given a choice I would not like to remove and reinstall it and I'll be dealing with a master cylinder that is dripping fluid.
