    C1 Brakes

    I had a leaky wheel cylinder so I rebuilt all of them and when I went to vacuum (one man bleeder) the only thing that came through was what was left in the lines. I took the single line off the master cylinder and nothing came out the master. Pumped the brakes and still nothing. I took an air gun and blew threw where the break line attached to the master and had pressure coming out the top. Any ideas where else to check or is a new master in order?

    Did you try it after you blew through the brake line fitting? This sounds like some crud in the MC, which is probably also in the line. You probably cleared it in the MC. If it were me, I would rebuild the MC (about as simple as the wheel cylinders) and flush the lines by bleeding, although you may have already done that.

    Working on hydraulic brakes is a lot like plumbing and heavy equipment. Once you get into it, it's unusual if you don't find something else.

      After I blew through the master I tried it again and nothing. Pumped the brakes and still nothing. Ran air through the brake lines and they were fine. I would think I should get a lot of fluid from the master when I step on the brakes with the line disconnected.
