how to bleed master cylinder? Reply #3 – October 30, 2017, 06:16:46 PM Thank you all for the replies to my brake question.Yes TEVES II ABSSeem like the master need not be bleed? all fluid goes into the accumulator and then to the cylinders?So, I started bleeding the system as mentioned, but I did press the pedal ALL the way down not 1/2 way. ??The pump came on and reached full pressure and shut off.Please note: My lines are rusted but I thought that I had replaced enough of them.Well, as I was bleeding the rear cylinders the rear line at the front of the car BURST so violently it vaporized the oil into smoke. I'm guessing because of the 2,600 PSI. Is this a normal function? 2,600 PSI in the lines and the wheel cylinders? how does the system handle that pressure?The rear cylinders did bleed but not with the pressure I thought it should have, in fact not much pressure at all.So I'm replacing the "rears" supply line with Dbl. beads & couplings. Difficult but I think doable I think. I'll try again. Thank you for your future comments. Quote Selected

As you've noticed rust can cause problems. Long of the short is the fronts are bled like any other brake system, the rears are "hold it half way and let the system do it". Quote Selected
