I would add that if you can hold the piston in and allow bubbles to naturally rise and then slowly release the piston so the bubbles don’t get sucked all the way back into the reservoir, you can more quickly purge them. Good video! Maybe speed up the section where you are just pumping* away? The viewer can always slow it down in the app if they want to see everything. That’s all I have. 👍 *Edited:spelling

Do you have a video on how to bleed the brakes as you stated that must be done after bench bleeding and installing the master cylinder? As a female that's new to doing my own vehicle repairs, it would help me to have a video on how to bleed the brakes on each tire.😊💅🏼

is that an adapter piece in there so you have more room to get a socket in there?

You may have better luck if you crack the bleeder lines once you fill the tank, that will let fluid flow into the cylinder and ensure you aren't dry pumping the cylinder the first few times. Source of the comment comes from the instructions on a cylinder I just replaced. I think you can get the same results if you don't tighten the connectors until fluid starts to leak out a little, or pull the hose for a short period to allow the free flow of fluid to start and fill the cylinder. I also had luck pausing with the cylinder held in and holding the lines vertical to let the air work its way up before releasing the cylinder and drawing the air back in.

So I’ll have to do it again. Thanks for the video. By the way, I bench bled the cylinder before I watched your video. But thanks anyway.

Excellent video man. I had two questions though: 1. When bleeding your brake lines, should you have the vehicle running, turned all the way off, or the key turned so as to have the electronics on but the engine still off? 2. When bleeding the brakes, what should be done with the cap for the reservoir? Leave it off, have it on tight, or just let it sit on top of the opening but not tightened? Thank you

@TrickShiftGarage

3 күн бұрын

Thanks man I appreciate it! Concerning your questions: 1. That's actually a great question. So, I probably should have covered that in my install video, but you do not need to have the key in the ignition at all. However, you will need to keep an eye on the master cylinder fluid level the next time you change your brake pads. What I mean by that is if you are low on pads, and you fill the fluid all the way to the top of the Master Cylinder, the next time you change your brakes, the fluid will rise due to the calipers traveling less with the new pads. If you have new pads, than you can fill it right up to the full line without issue. 2. I like to unscrew the cap but leave it on the reservoir. If you take it completely off, you run the risk of debris getting into the fluid. So, unscrew the cap to easily allow the fluid to flow through the brake lines, but leave it on the reservoir to prevent debris from potentially clogging your master cylinder. I hope this helps brother! 🤟

I would guess it's a vacuum line somewhere (maybe the one that connects the brake booster and the intake manifold). Let me know what you find out!

Can this be done without removing the master cylinder and simply unplugging the two lines, place the two fittings, run the hose and use the brake pedal instead of the screwdriver?

@TrickShiftGarage

I guess theoretically it could, but it will take a lot longer because the brake booster rod will not push the piston in as far as the punch/screwdriver. Since you have to remove the brake lines, you might as well just remove the 2 nuts and take it off. But that's just my opinion.

I am currently working on a big brake bleeding video, but as far as connecting the brake lines to the master cylinder this is it. Make sure you only do one line at a time and be ready to connect the line once you remove the fitting. I lost very minimal fluid doing it this way.

@@TrickShiftGarage Well I lose a ton of fluid doing it that way. And no pressure on the break afterwards at all. I seen another video where a guy did on bleeding the brake Master. If you search" brake master cylinder sprinter". Basically the kit fits over the cap for the brake master and you just pump it up and you don't have to do anything it sucks up all the air apparently. There's no disconnecting of brake lines and putting a bleed kit on there and then disconnecting the brake lines and the fluid leaking out while you're trying to put the original brake lines back on. Seems like that way would be a hundred times better to just put something on the cap and suck out all the bubbles from top. It comes with a couple different caps to make sure it fits and then a pretty big plastic jug with a hand pump on it and pressure gauge so you can read that also

After mounting the master cylinder and before removing the fittings and hoses get a piece of wood to go between the brake pedal and front part of the driver's lower seat cushion. Cut the wood to a length so that when you move the seat forward some it will push the brake pedal down. You just want to move the brake pedal down enough to close off the compensation port of the master cylinder, which will prevent the fluid from leaking out of the reservoir. It doesn't take much pedal movement for the master cylinder pistons to move past and close off the ports, as a guide use the brake lights, when they come on that's usually far enough. There will be a little fluid loss when removing the fittings and hoses but it should stop quickly and you won't drain the fluid out of the reservoir with the ports blocked off. You'll then need to bleed the system at each of the wheel bleeders. You can get some air out of the master cylinder lines after connecting them; with a partner's help to press on the brake pedal or moving the seat forward with the wood on the pedal you can then crack open the master cylinder line fittings to let air out. This will get some air out but a full bleed will still be needed.

Nicely Done. But a word of advice. The blue and red fittings represent metric and sae threads. There are 2 of each fitting in the kit. So you should be using both red or both blue. Get a thread pitch tool to measure the thread pitch on the nuts that come fro the master cylinder. Thats the easiest way to determine if metric of sae. Then take calipers to find the diameter of the nut. Use the diameter and thread pitch to pick the right one from the kit!

Good tip! I tried quite a few different fittings, and the two I used fit the best. As long as it doesn't leak, it should be fine.

I’m having a hard time bench bleeding it. I was doing on a box without a vise. The piston is really hard to push without grabbing the base and only the sides of the MC so the air keeps returning back in the base. I’m planning on bench bleeding but on the car with the bleeder kit hoses still attached. What do you think? The MC is tilted slightly up while attached to the car. Is it still possible to completely bleed it out of air like that?

@TrickShiftGarage

Жыл бұрын

Hello Keviiiboo, I've never done it while it was attached to the brake booster before, but I would imagine it would work. It will take a long longer though. When bench bleeding, you are able to push the piston all the way in forcing a ton of air out. When you push in the brake pedal, you will only be pushing the piston in halfway, or 3/4's of the way. So I do think it's possible, but at the same time I have never done it that way so I'm not 100% sure.

This is the best way to bleed a master cylinder. You have to make sure all air is removed from it. If you try this on the vehicle, you need a second person to watch the air escape, and you also have to be very careful while pushing the piston in. You want to move as slow as possible to ensure you are getting the air out. Bench bleeding is the best way imo.

The problem with your method is you will have more air in the lines compared to bench bleeding. Believe it or not, but you can still stop with some air in the lines. However, it's not the safest way to do it. Consistent braking will show a vehicle with a Master Cylinder that was bench bled, will outperform a vehicle using your method. Can they both stop? Absolutely. But claiming your way is on an equal level to bench bleeding is ignorant in itself.
