How to bleed the Brake Master Cylinder?
Hi,

I've performed an overhaul to the BMC of my AE86, however now i can't bleed it...

I've assembled all the brake pipe system from the BMC to the wheels, i started the bleeding process but no fluid was getting out.

After several attempts i removed the pipes from the BMC and no fluid was also there. Only inside the reservoir i had fluid.

I removed and dissasembled again the BMC to see if everything was assembled correctly. My only doubt is if the springs are in the correct position. I have inserted the longer one (and stronger) first and then the shorter one.

I put the BMC back to its place, filled up the reservoir again and pressed again the brake pedal several times to see if some fluid was coming from the top of the BMC (where the brake pipes are tight) but no fluid showed up.

The acting pin is working and is pressing the cylinder, however no fluid is coming out. Any ideas what could be the problem?

Thanks...

Keeping the AE86 alive!
