how do i bench bleed a master clutch cylinder at home?
help is appreciated thanks

 

use fittings to connect hoses to both the reservoir line and the line out to the rest of the clutch system.

insert both of those hoses into a jar of brake fluid, and slowly pump away until air bubbles stop coming out of the lines when you pump the piston.

Do your best to plug the holes so you don't get brake fluid all over everything, and don't accidentally push the piston at all when installing, or you'll get air back in it.

 

ok would that work if i just submerged the cylinder in brake fluid and pumped the air bubbles out that way?

 

Every brake master cylinder I have ever bought has come with lines and instruction on how to do it, but if your didn't come with them here is a link. http://www.superchevy.com/tech....html It is the same process for a clutch master cylinder.

 

you certainly could submerge the whole thing, but that will be a waste of a lot of brake fluid and a mess.

 

i dont really care about wasting fluid anymore i have wasted so much it probably wont make a difference lol, but the guys in the other thread said i dont need to bench bleed it, so i am really confused

 

you'll save yourself a good bit of hassle if you bench bleed first
