Question
thanks sean for offering advise.,1991 toyota 4x4 pickup auto, we change front brakes, pads rotors calipers and master cylinder. after bench bleeding the master, we have been unable to get a pedal while trying to bleed the system. changed the master with 3 different ones, same problem. no pedal any help would be appreciated. thanks don
What method are you using to bleed the brakes?As you have removed the master cylinder,you need to bleed all 4 wheels.Start at the rear passenger and then drivers side rear,then front passenger and finally drivers front.Best to use help and watch the master doesnt run out of fluid.About 10 14 good pumps per wheel should work.
