I didn't bench bleed the master cylinder.
Since it had to bleeders on the cylinder its self I didn't think it was necessary.
I don't have residual pressure valves, because I think this master, since it is for a disc/drum set up already has a residual pressure valve in the front reservoir. I could be wrong...
I took the drums off and watched the wheel cylinders as someone pumped the brakes, they are moving a little so I think there may be air in the lines still.
I just rebuilt the rear wheel cylinders. they were a complete mess, I was hoping to get away with not doing them because I can't afford the new rear wheel cylinders at $100 a pop.
A month ago someone was wondering if the rears and the fronts were the same with different adjusters. I found out that they are indeed the same and that the only difference is the adjusters. They all had the same casting numbers in them. I had ordered a set of rebuild kits hoping to get lucky and did!
I'm done for the night and will hit this again tomorrow. I need my truck back on the road.
Thanks for the pushrod advice. I'll post more tomorrow.
