I'm looking all over the place on here for info about installing the 19 mm master cylinder. I rebuilt my pedal cluster and I put the new master cylinder in, then filled the reservoir with fluid. Pumping the brakes isn't putting the fluid into the lines when I open the bleeder on the rear passenger caliper. This is a brand new master cylinder. Do I have to fill it or prime it before it pumps properly? Thanks

QUOTE(realred914 @ May 9 2010, 09:00 AM)  Recommends you all wear safety glasses, brake fluid burns like fire in the eyes, no shit, it hurts like hell. Yeah I'll vouch for that one... Was bleeding the slave cyl on my 944 one time, was over visiting my parents. From time to time my dad will wrench on cars with me to pass the time. I remember telling him "Now slowly push the clutch" he stomps, the line pops off the nipple, fluid SHOOTS in my eye. I'm going "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOTHER****ER OH MY *** HOLY **** IT BURNS WHAT THE **** AHHHHHH" as he's going "what happened? you okay?" with my face covered in the stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Funny now of course. At the time, I think it was on a scale of 1 to 10 an easy 7.5 to 8 for pain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif) Anyway..... yeah. Wear some safety glasses. |
