Dangerous move to not use a pressure =
bleeder. The
internal seals will be wiping over an unused and
probably rusty/gunged area when you depress the pedal fully to the =
floor,
you may end up replacing the master cylinder as a result. I am speaking =
from
experience!!
The idea not to let the level drop to =
low is to
avoid air getting into the system, I would not let it drop below the =
clutch
outlet port on the reservoir for obvious reasons.
100cm3 is 100 milli-litres. I do not =
know what it
is in that other archaic means of measurement!

Subject: Brake Fluid =
Change
Hi, =
I'm about
to replace the brake fluid in my 86.
I'm confused by reading =
Bentley. From
what I gather, it says never to reduce
the fluid level below the =
minimum
mark. To follow the refill chart for each
brake cylinder when =
bleeding the
system.
As a matter of interest what problem do you encounter =
draining the
whole
system?
This would be the case if you were changing to =
silicon
fluid.
What is the equivalent measurement of 100 cm3. as is =
mentioned
in the Bentley
directions. 47.8A. I intend doing the procedure =
without the
use of a pressure
bleeder.
Any tips gratefully accepted.
