<< Hello.
I am attempting to bench bleed a new master cylinder for my TR6. I am not
getting any flow out of the outlet which is in front when mounted in the
car. Flow is fine out of the other. Is something stuck? Will I have to pull
it apart to see what's wrong?
Thanks in advance. >>
Are you pushing the plunger all the way down when bleeding? The front and
rear pistons are not mechanically connected. The column of fluid from the
firewall side piston is what pushes the front piston forward.
If the firewall side piston is pushed a short distance, it will never push
the front piston during bleeding.
If that isn't the case, the piston could have gotten stuck at the end of the
bore or could have a torn seal. If it has a torn seal, some fluid should
still flow.
