In redoing/modifying my brakes I forgot to bench bleed, this was of course after I removed the master cylinder and prop valve. I have been trying to bleed them now for almost a full day. I'm just starting to get a little pedal. So I'm assuming I can get bleed the brakes without bench bleeding. If so anyone have a estimate on how long it will take.

 

Because of the angle at which the master sits (and air rises), your chances of a successful bleed is probably non-existent. Some members have tried lifting the rear end in order to level the master.

i dont have the paper handy, but there is a way to bleed the master with it on the car. You have to make lines that go from the 2 outlet ports and loop up and back into the master reservoir, below fluid level. Then pump away untill the bubbles stop. Not sure if there is something else involved, i just remember this method, or something similar, from the instruction sheet that came with a new master i bought.

or like james mentioned, you can try to raise the rear of the car to level the master.

 

Light bulb. The above may be available as a kit. Still, I'd think the master would have to be level. Here's the idea:

Maybe a power bleeder.

The application guide lists thirdgens to 91 (why not 92?)
