Bench Bleeding??

Re: Bench Bleeding??
since the master cylinder is mounted at an angle, there is no way for air to escape from the highest point inside the master cylinder, so the only way to properly remove all air is to get the master cylinder, at least level with ground, hence taking it off and bench bleeding
if u can put the car on a hill and get the master cylinder at least level then u can get away with it

The master mounts at an angle. There is a chance that it will not pump all of the air out with a normal brake bleed.
Bench bleeding is just attaching two lines to the MC output and bending them back into the reservior below the fluid level. Then you hold the master level in a vice and pump it with a rod until all of the air is out of the MC ie no bubbles.
That is a bench bleed.

Re: Bench Bleeding??
What kind of lines do I attach? What do you mean bend them back into the reservoir below the fluid line? I think mine is bad, and I was just going to swap mc's off another f-body to see if that is my problem. Is the bench bleeding too time consuming to mess with doing this? I appreciate all the replies.
