brake master issue

[LeviGideon]

I'm in the process of getting the brakes working on the goon, so I pulled the brake master off the 4dr for now. I went to bench bleed it, but it wouldn't pull any fluid from the reservoir, just tons of suction from the bottom holes where the lines connect. Could there be a clog somewhere, or am I doing something entirely wrong?

gotta plug the bottom :) 

[Eagle_Adam]

then run a line from the valves to the reservoir and when the bubbles are gone ur good 

[LeviGideon]

I've plugged the bottom.... :sneaky:

 

But even when I do that it doesn't create any suction at the reservoirs. I've got nothing at the bleeders, either.

[Eagle_Adam]

what did you plug the bottom with? 

[LeviGideon]

I just put my fingers over the holes. haha

[Eagle_Adam]

try a bolt, i used the fittings and lines i cut off another datto in the JY. air tight is the right way

might need another set of fingers

Put your fingers in the res and plug and pump the rod and see if it sucks then

 

 

What does pulling from old 4 dr mean? was this a old master not used in years?

It definitely hasn't been used in years, but it's fairly clean, and looks like it may have been replaced right before it was parked. Everything moves freely and smoothly.

Well, I let it sit for a while, then tried it again and it all works great now. Guess it just needed to soak in a little.

Nice work! I'm jelly.. You're at home wrenching and I'm at work, working (and ratsuning :ninja:).

[Eagle_Adam]

[LeviGideon]

Eh, I don't start back working until Monday. Even then I make my own hours, so there's still datto time.
