Afternoon Gents,
I finally got around to changing out the MC on the 1990 240. Thanks Art, I adopted your suggested methodology of bench bleeding. It was a Cardone reman unit and it actually came with 2 lengths of clear plastic hose and two temporary plastic bleeders. I have bench bled until I felt no "squishing" of air bubbles in the cylinder nor seen any in the tubes. My question is primarily just one of curiosity, why could I not "bench bleed" again now while the bleeders are attached but the MC is attached to the booster? Or could I? Just now use the pedal and the actuator of the booster as is? Could that be done in general "on the vehicle"(in situ)? There should be no corrosion on inside of MC as its rebuilt, so no spots that typically dont get used to F up the seal...right?
Thoughts before I proceed?
