Brake bleeder on the master cylinder or not?

[David K]

From the Chassis section in the main menu, is the last sentence still understood as the same? Just curious, and always appreciate the effort for the information.


Power drum and power disc brake master cylinders were installed at an angle which trapped air in the bores of the master cylinder. Bleeder valves were installed to allow this air to be purged from the system. The manual disc brake master cylinders were installed horizontally and did not have bleeder valves.

We believe the manual drum master cylinders also did not have bleeders, but there is some conflicting data and this is still being researched.
