hey guys, i went to advance auto parts the other day and got my brake master cylinder for my del sol si and he said somethin bout "bench bleeding" what is that? and is swappin this a similar procedure as the clutch master? thanks

rick_rabies

Yeah I have a 94 Sol and recently did my Clutch Master Cilinder by myself in 100 degree weather.. call a friend drink a beer and have him pump the pedal for you it saves a CRAP-TON of time and headache trying to bleed it by yourself even with that crappy kit they sell

hahaa aight kool thanks

i opend the box and it ended up havin instructions on "bench bleeding". its where u put fluid in the reservoir before u install the master cylinder and u pump the piston a couple times till all the air bubbles r gone.

I dont know the terms, and Im too lazy to read up. its prolly the same as instructed whereever

I cut two 7 ish inch lengths of brake line and connect each to teh cylinder, then the other ends are bent up and submerged into the tank. top it off, slowly pump a few times, check the level, give it a few hard pumps and letting out slowly


this prolly is bench bleeding, but I do this and it works <shrug>

hmm. i was kinda in a hurry so i just put some in and pumped it till i saw no bubbles. it came with two lil plugs for where the lines go but they wouldnt thread in so i said **** it. prolly not the right way to do it but my brakes work, but still a lil mushy...

Your brake lines still have air in it if its still mushy.

wolf95

should i just bleed my lines a ton more??

YES! air = bad!

wolf95

well i knew that... i just didnt know if that would fix the rest of it or if i had to pull the master back out. but thanks
