Anyone have experience bench bleeding a remote fill master cylinder? I've bench bled plenty of 'conventional' masters, but never a remote fill - There is no 'cover' - just two barbed ******s that the rubber lines to the reservoir attach to. I understand how to perform the bleeding aspect, it's the next step that has me garbled.. The 'technical support' guy (MP Brakes) told me I have to attach the hoses and reservoir, and then bleed into another container - but here's the catch - then I have to leave the whole thing (reservoir, master, hoses) attached and somehow transport this to my car and install so I don't introduce air back into the system. Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of a remote fill? It's going to be under the floor of my car and I need a remote fill because it's difficult to access - Anyone ever deal with this before?
Yes - this is an option, but more difficult for a couple of reasons. 1 - was going to vacuum bleed the system, but to do the master I need to pump the pedal which means I need someone else 2 - the location is tight, and I wanted to install it already with the combination valve and plumbing on it to I wouldn't have to do it 'blind' Just seems like it should be easier - but then again, I've thought that many times before.
I would bleed it in the car. Just run lines from the MC output back into the remote res making sure they are submerged in brake fluid. Pump the brake pedal untill there are NO bubbles comming from the loop back lines in the res. You pump the pedal 10 times, get out and look into the res to see if there are bubbles. If there are ANY bubbles repeat.
