Master cylinder nipple ?

Post by Atomicandy » Sun May 15, 2016 7:43 am

I've bled the brakes on lots of cars and always been happy with the results.
Was having a look over the car and noticed the master cylinder has a bleed nipple.
I'm happy with my braking performance but when I bled the brakes should I of bled from the master cylinder as well ????

On the Atom, I've only read that this was required if you had removed the banjo / pressure sensitive brake light switch.

If the pedal feels good, you're good to go !?

On other cars, when bleeding at the slave cylinders hasn't produced a solid pedal, then a final bleed at the master cylinder has produced the desired result.

Tom - Any advice here?
