Hi guys random question was going to change the brake fluid on the old escort today when someone told me that aparently when you pump the pedal wth the nips open it can cause damage to the master cylinder.

Dunno whether this is the case so i guess my question is when bleeding the brakes is it possible to damage the master cylinder simply by opening the bleed nipple depressing foot brake and closing bleed nipple?

any help would be apreciated.

BTW me escort is a mk6 lx 1800 115ps.

 

i have known the master cylinder seals to rotate if you press the pedal too fast,just do it slowly and it will be ok,or even better,just gravity bleed them

 

Invest in an Eezibleed, job jobbed.

 

or make ur own ezeebleed

 

Eezibleed works well, used it for years without problem.
