Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / December 2007reverse pressure bleeding master cylinder...??
I recently purchased a reverse pressure bleeder and I going to replace the brake fluid on my Toyota 4runner. So how do I reverse pressure bleed the master cylinder.

About the only time I use a revers bleed is on a nice clean EMPTY system. Then it does a nice job of pushing all the air out as it fills the system.  SignatureSteve W.

I intend to empty the brake fluid. So how would I pressure bleed the master cylinder then..? > -- > Steve W.

You can use a bleeder kit that feeds the fluid back into the res. or just bleed the system as usual with a pressure bleeder. No problem. SignatureSteve W.

You want the fluid going in one direction, which is out the bleeder screw. Use either a pressure pump at the master cylinder or a vacuum pump at the wheel. Be sure to bleed in the proper sequence too. |
