Bleed Brakes?
« on: January 11, 2010, 11:40:30 AM »
I'm replacing a grommet on my master cylinder fluid reservoir, do I need to bleed the brakes after doing this?

I wouldn't think so, due to the fact that I'll just remove the fluid from the reservoir, remove the reservoir, change the grommet, put the reservoir back on, then refill.

Nope, as long as no air gets into the master cylinder, you'll be OK.  No bleeding necessary.  You might want to change or trim the clutch hose too, while you're at it.
