brake question!!
I am in the process of putting my brake booster/MC back on. I'm wondering if i need to bench bleed the MC or what. It was on the original s10 and all the fluid has since drained out. If i do could someone give me a quick write up on the proces? I also need to figure out the brake lines, i have a big and a small, is there one way they hook up or? Thanks for the help!!

Re: brake question!!
Yes bench bleed the master cylinder. Get some old brake lines, screw them in the mc and bend them so that the ends are back in the resivoir. Put the mc in a vise, fill it up with brake fluid, and use a screwdriver to pump the mc like the pedal would when you push it. Do this until there is no more air bubbles.

Re: brake question!!
Usually the bigger line is the front calipers, bigger piston then the w/cyl in the back need more fluid.

Re: brake question!!
Im using an s10 so im assuming 54 jimmy is right. And i thought i would need to bench bleed the MC but i was just checking. Really the big line is at the front but powers the rear breaks. Thanks guys!!
