Bench bleeding MC

[57larry]

never had a master cyl with a booster. it's new under the floor. when I bench bleed the MC, do I take the booster off & just bleed the MC or do I bleed them both together? thank you, Larry

I would remove the booster to make it easier to hold but you shouldn't need to remove it to bleed. The bleeding process is the same no matter which rod you are pushing on.

thank you.   Frank, you got anything to add?

Why not bleed it on the workbench in a vice and then install after its already bled? You would know right away if it is bled correctly . Might be a pain to install but maybe less trouble in the end ?

[57larry]

yes chimp, I'll go that way. thank you

called Wilwood, they said to remove the booster from the MC and just bleed the MC away from the booster.

how about that?

It will be fine. Less mass to carry around.
