Im pretty Sure my master cylinder is dead.
Me and a buddy COMPLETELY re-bled and flushed out my brake system, and we replaced it all with DOT3 sythetic brake fluid.
Now... I did a 2 HOUR bleeding job up to the point where there wasnt ONE SLIGHT microscopic air bubble, we got it to a point where just fluid comes out each bleeder valve.
Now... during the bleeding, after the bleeding, and before we ever started the bleeding, the master cylinder always makes a "air sound" whenever someone pumps the pedal, and there is a LITTLE TINY bubble inside the top of the master cylinder where the fluid is. Its extremely hard to explain. But if you open up the cap to the cylinder, and look down into it (filled with brake fluid of course) and look at a little "crevice" inside the cylinder while someone continues the pedal, you can see a little bubble. But... the bubble DOES NOT surface, so its not an air leak I dont think?
But after this PERFECT bleed job the brakes dont grab until 1/2 way but if you pump it 2 or 3 times you only need to push them down 1/4th to grab,
Is my master dead? (or dying?)
How do you take it off?
I know you need to take off 2 bolts on each side.
The hard lines.
What else is involved?
After I replace it do I need to re-bleed everything again/
thx
