Brake Fluid reservoir stuck on old Master Cylinder 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be DeWayne on  Mon Feb 18 03:24 CST 2002 [RELATED]

To "Do it Right", I agree it would be a good thing to bleed the entire system,
but I did not feel that bleeding the system was necessary when I installed my new master cylinder. It's been so long ago that I don't remember if I taped the ends on the brake lines or not, but I had plenty of hard pedal and the brakes worked fine. It was one of those emergency repair type jobs because the pedal was going almost to the floor with the old cylinder (internal bypass condition).

If the new master cylinder isn't bench bled, then you're asking for trouble because air will get into the system.
