Master Cylinder
Guys it's that time again, I have to change my MC on my 91 integra, the problem is that I was always the one inside the car pumping the pedal, and never saw what was gonin' on under the hood. I know the basic to removin, and installin' the brake mc, it's just the bleeding part that I get lost. So can someone give me the quick, and easy method on the bleeding, and pleae keep in mind that'll be workin' with my wife....... thanks for all the help on this one guys......

Re: Master Cylinder
bleeding is easy... you turn the bleeder screw until air stops coming out. repeat process all the way around the car. whats wrong with your car anyway? it could allways be a hole/crack in the line. or somthings almost coming unscrewed. allot of times brake fluid will come out in a fine mist so you can't see it puddling up or driping out. and make sure you dont get it in your eyes when checking for the mist. it stings like a ----------er.

Re: Master Cylinder
You can't just bleed the brakes regularly when installing a master cylinder, you have to bench bleed the cylinder itself. It helps if you have extra fittings with lines a few inches long that can attach to the master cylinder. Hook them up, then stick the lines in the lfuid reservoir. Fill it up with fluid and stick the MC in a vise. Take a screwdriver or whatever you have around and press in the part of the MC that bolts up to the vaccuum booster, you will see the air bubble into the reservoir. Repeat until there is no air bubbling out, then install the master cylinder and bleed the brakes at each wheel.
