Q & A: Bleeding The Brakes

Hope you had a nice holiday. Got my car home this weekend. The brake and clutch pedals went right to the floor and didn’t come back any to quick. Topped off the fluid (the master was dry), opened the bleeder on the clutch slave and had my daughter pump the hell out of the clutch. All I got was some fluid running out of the bleeder but no fluid moving out of the master. The pumping of the clutch didn’t have any effect on how quickly the fluid moved out of the slave.



Is this an obvious master cylinder rebuild? If so, I may give it a try myself but its nice to know I have you as a backup. Approx. cost for you to rebuild?

After 15 years of storage the best best is to rebuild the master cylinder -- that's for sure. But the bleeding technique is important, too. Follow these steps.
