Master Cylinder Bleeding

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The master cylinder has no check valve, so if bleeding is carried out by the following procedure, bleeding of air from the brake line will become easier.

  1. Fill the reserve tank with brake fluid.
  2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.
  3. Have another person cover the master cylinder outlet with a finger.
  4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake pedal.
  5. Repeat steps  2 - 4 three or four times to fill the inside of the master cylinder with brake fluid.
