Just finished rebuilding and repainting entire front end of the '71 small block (WHEW!)looks brand new. New calipers installed also. Removed and repainted PB booster and master cylinder. I am confidant that I can bleed the calipers and lines properly. My question involves bleeding the master cylinder as I have never done this. Do I have to remove it again to do this or can it be done in place and if so how? I do not have a pressure bleeder and don't really want to buy one just to bleed the master.

Thanks
Neil

I changed my car over to speed bleeder valves.. including the master cylinder... it works great..

just take some tube and run the output of the speed bleeders into the master cylinder and pump away..

air cant get back in the valves..

they are about 7$ a pair at autozone

I changed to speed bleeders after rebuilt calipers with original bleeder style leaked. I agree they are excellent!!
