Hi, after replacing the rotors and disks, i found out my master cylinder was blown (leaking from the boot). I got a new master cylinder, installed it, and now i'm trying to bleed the brakes. Having a hell of a time.
I primed the dampener; primed the master cylinder (disconnected brake line at solenoid and pumped with the screwdriver until fluid shot out putting finger over the hole on release.)
When I run the clear tubing off the bleeder and crack the bleeder and then start pumping, I can't seem to get air pocket out of the line. It does seem like there's enough pressure in the system to push the fluid all the way through....I'm lost. Do I need a power bleeder for this? Do I have to have a vaccum test or something? THink I have a leak somewhere?
THanks guys
