Replaced the master cylinder with a rebuild from Advance Auto. Bled the
cylinder before installing it in the car as instructed. The piston seemed to
work normal. IT felt right when you pushed it in and it returned on it's own.
Now installed it in the car and the piston does not seem to be traveling all
the way out or else the push rod is now to short. The push rod has to travel
and inch or so before it engages the piston.
Get good flow bleeding the front brakes but very little out of the back.
I disconnected the line from the back of the cylinder, which serves he back
brakes, and when I work the piston in and out I do get some fluid out of the
port, but not as much as I think I should.
Is it possible I got a bad master cylinder or is there something else I am
missing. I know it takes a while to get out the air out of the lines, but the
slop between the push rod and piston confuses me. I don't remember that.
When I was redoing the car I had the old one out and drained and
intalled it and bled the brakes with no problem. I am having a problem with
this one.
Please need some advice. THis is the first time in 7 years that a repair has
frustrated me.
