1989 Super Carry Master Cylinder removal
Posted: Sat May 07, 2016 12:16 pm
Hi again, still trying to fix all the issues on my new project and while I'm waiting for my new carburettor and fuel pump to arrive I thought I'd have a go at fixing the brakes.
I filled the brake fluid reservoir and proceeded to bleed the brakes. Front brakes no problem but no fluid pumped to the bleed nipple on the left rear (right rear has no bleed nipple). I followed the brake lines to the proportioning valve assembly just in front of the rear diff and removed it. I gently blew some compressed air into either end and it blew through no problems so that lead me to believe the master cylinder isn't creating enough pressure to push the fluid all the way down the back.
With everything all connected, if I pump the brake pedal it bubbles in the reservoir.
I started to undo all the steering column to get to the master cylinder behind it but it seems like I have to remove the whole bloody dash to get proper access to all the bolts to remove the master cylinder. Is that right?
