Using the correct technique.. Master cylinder still won't bleed up.

Thinking the master cylinder is shagged.

If you where pumping it while it was dry in the cylinder maybe it chewed the seals out Just a thought

I do a fair few trailor brakes at work and I find that to start the master cylinder to bleed. I remove the brake line completely. Fill the master cylinder with fliud, leaving the cap off. Then pull the lever to press the brakes on ( Press the pedal in a car ). I then cover the top of the cylinder with my hand to seal it. Then release the brake lever. I find this helps draw the fluid in, so its infront of the piston. I couldnt explain how though.
Then I bleed it like normal.

As I suspected.... The master cylinder was siezed.

Pulled it all apart.
Inspected the seals.... O.k.
Gave the M/C a light hone.
Reassembled and......... One of the seals caught in the fluid gallery that goes to the reservior.
Tore a nice half moon out of it .

And guess what - You can't just buy the one seal, you have to buy a whole kit. $75.00 .

I'm off to see what a brand new M/C is worth.
Can anyone in Brissy point me in the right direction?
