Your thoughts on bottoming master cyl when bleeding?

[Jeff]

All Master cyl's are fundamentaly the same

All m/cs are the same on the basic level true, but have you ever worked on one that has all that ABS junk connected to it? Its like little spring valves connected to the bottom of the main length of the cylinder under the reservoir. When you take it apart it looks like a master cylinder that runs though the center of an automatic transmission valve body. The newer systems are nothing like it. It has a high pressure tank thing attached to the top and all kinds of crazy stuff. Thats why we never took the one on the Maz apartthe service manual scared us away. The point is not lost on me though, junk in the end of the cylinder Fs up the sealsense is made.

I'm surprised your dealership doesnt use a pressure/vacuum flushing system.

I was getting ready to say we donÔÇÖt but then I googled ÔÇ£break bleeder systemÔÇØ and the thing I found looks just like one of the shiny new tools Hal (my uncle) got over the past few months.



He had been upgrading all the equipment over the past year and has spent a ton of money on new goodies to make jobs easier and faster. Just to show how far we were getting behind, we just got our first trans flush system last month and our tire mounting machine doesnÔÇÖt got any larger then 17in. We have random machines...like an on the car brake lathe. I am never down there anymore; never get to see the new stuff.
