Below are some closeups of the adapter plate and how it connects, a U bracket under the cylinder could also work. here
Showing the new clear refreshed fluid in both the brake and clutch master cylinders.
A brake bleeder is a handy one man device to change the hydraulic fluid in your car or motorbike.
Having used both types of systems I have to admit that the vacuum version is superior and uses less components.
I used a windscreen washer pressure bottle from an old VW beetle, this has a max pressure rating of 35psi, more than adequate for our purposes.
You’ve just replaced the rear brake shoes & cylinders and attempted to bleed the system and BANG – the pedal goes straight to the floor. The master cylinder has just given up the ghost. (Sound familiar?) You ring the customer and explain that the car won’t be ready until you source and fit another cylinder (hopefully off NBS!) and you tell them the job will be twice as much as you originally expected. Grumble, grumble…!!
This method requires the use of the brake pedal and master cylinder as a pump to expel air and brake fluid from the system. This method is usually a 2 man operation. Starting at the wheel that is determined by the proper bleeding sequence for the vehicle being worked on (you will probably need a manual or database for this,) one person opens (during the pedal operation) and closes (prior to pedal release) the bleeder screws and observes the air bubbles while the assistant pumps the pedal slowly. Usually the fluid is bled through a piece of clear plastic hose into a jar with fluid at the bottom. Keeping one end of the hose inserted in the fluid will prevent air getting into the system when the bleeder is open. To ensure no air can be sucked back into the system, the bleeder screw must be closed at the end of each stroke, before the pedal is released. here
Nobody likes doing it, and everybody says they’ve been fitting master cylinders for forty years and have never needed to do it, but believe it or not it is worthwhile bench bleeding a cylinder before fitment. Why? Well, air obviously gets trapped in a master cylinder and the fastest way of getting rid of that air is simply to do it on the bench. It makes it a lot easier to remove the air from the lines if you’re starting with a properly bled master cylinder. The best way to bench bleed a cylinder is to fill the fluid reservoir with brake fluid, and attach return hoses from the outlet ports to recycle the fluid back into the reservoir as the push rod is stroked. Alternatively, if you have not access to return pipes, you can stroke the cylinder in the vice, putting your fingers over the outlet ports as the piston returns. Keep going until a steady flow of fluid comes out of each port. Then put plugs in the ports and fit the cylinder to the vehicle. The next stage of bleeding is to bleed the system at the pipes on the master cylinder. This removes air from what is usually the highest point in the system. To do this, have an assistant in the car, crack all outlet pipes then depress the pedal. Do the pipes up before the pedal is released. Keep repeating this procedure until no air is present.
