Hey guys,
Yesterday I attempted to put on 4 new brakes and a new master cylinder on
my '86 5ktq. First, I did the MC. I bench bled it and put it on the car. Then
I began to pressure bleed the slave. I had the bleed jar sitting on top of the
engine (wasn't higher than the reservoir). The slave seemed to bleed fine. I
cracked open the bleeder and my helper applied pressure (~10 psi) until I
didn't get bubbles. Then I shut the valve. But when I checked the clutch it
went straight to the floor and didn't come back!!! So I decided to bleed
again. Applied pressure...opened the bleeder and some fluid came out. Once
that small amount came out no more would; not even air. I even took the
bleeder completely out---nothing. So I went ahead and put my G60's, new
stainless lines, drilled rotors, rear vented setup, and new rear end links. I
tried to bleed the clutch again today and got some fluid after pumping the
brakes, but still no clutch. This is the first time I've tried a job like
this...hope I didn't break something!
TIA!
