First time bleeding brakes on m 1978 924. I've just installed a new brake master cylinder and bled it first. Starting with the back right wheel and I haven't seen any brake fluid coming through at all. How long does it typically take? We tried for several minutes (maybe 10-15?) but were not successful. I tried to change the flex hose on this wheel but was not able to get it off on one end so I reconnected it. When I disconnected the one end I was able to get off there was fluid in the line. Rather than further mess up the other end I couldn't get undone (the fitting is a bit rounded because I tried first without a flare nut wrench), I'm going to leave that for a pro. The other 3 flex hoses are changed out.
If I am not able to get this one bled, should I move on and try the next one just to make sure fluid is moving through ok?
I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks _________________ 1978 Porsche 924, Copper Metallic |

I would bleed at least one of them to make sure your master cylinder is moving fluid. If it doesn't, that's your problem. _________________ 1988 porsche 924s
