Afternoon all, I'm having trouble bleeding the wheel cylinder on the right side front. After honing the cylinder and a rebuild kit I'm just getting bubbles and foam, some fluid. I disconnected the brake hose from the cylinder and bled from the hose. same results(new hose). I then removed the hose and bled from the hard line from the master cylinder and I still get the same results. The master cylinder is new but the hard line is not. My questions are #1 When I put the master cylinder in a while ago (the car is not on the road) I did not "bench bleed" the master cylinder. None of the manuals including Bently mention to do this. If so is there a technique article in the archives on how to.#2- When I installed the master I remember that The push rod might have to be adjusted. would this adjustment help or matter for the sake of bleeding? just as a fyi I will probably replace the hard line. Ihave some spare tubing in the garage. Also It is a single master cylinder and not the tandem that your newer cars have. ;-) Any help is appreciated. We're getting 6 inches of snow today So I will have some garage time this weekend. Thanks. John 65 square (weezer) (we name our cars for good karma sake.
