1951 B-3-C: How to prime the master cylinder...?


Recommended Posts

...without removing it from the truck. Several years ago after a leaking wheel cylinder drained the master cylinder dry, I refilled it and used air pressure from a shop vac to get fluid back into the works so I could bleed the brakes. Now another leaking wheel cylinder has run it dry again. But this time the shop vac isn't helping. I've filled the reservoir and applied the pressure trying to shove the fluid in, but the cylinder isn't pumping. I've tried several times and it's just not working. Any suggestions?
