[Vwdiesel] Rabbit Brake Master Cylinder

[David Cook]

Yeah, you'll need to bleed at each wheel.  Start from
the furthest from the MC and work to closest.  So,
rear pass, rear driver front pass, front driver.

Making or buying a pressure bleeder is so incredibly
handy, you wouldn't believe.  I was working on a
beetle's brakes and we were doing it the old fashioned
way.  After nearly no luck getting the air out, I used
an old brake fluid cap to make an adapter for the
beetle's reservoir and hook the bleeder up to that. 
Getting the air out after that was almost magical.

To make the adapter, I just drilled a hole in the cap
and used a tire wheel stem.  One that had a nut to
squeeze the inside rubber against the rim.  Just
installed the wheel stem on the cap similar to how it
would be installed on the wheel and hooked up the hose
with a clamp.

Oh, you will need to remove the valve core from the
stem.

I found that to be easier than finding the parts that
are recommended on the build your own bleeder sites.
