Bloody Brakes!

Featured Replies

I'm working on bleeding my brake system and am beginning to think I need to flush the whole hydraulic brake system.

Anyhow, I am having trouble with the first master cylinder bleeder valve. I tried to drain it (as directed by 'How To Keep Your Subaru Alive') and have run a lot of fluid through it and am still dealing with a ton of bubbles that seem to be never ending. What should I do now?

 

Edit: I think my master cylinder is toast. Subaru quoted me at $158 for a new one ordered. Is there a cheaper route for me to take?

Goto the Classifieds section of the forum. I got one from "junkyardgabe" for 20$ in working condition.
