When we were done, I had a mechanic pump in less than a cup of brake fluid from the bleeder valve while I held the brake peddle back until I could see the fluid start to come out. I had the fluid run into a paper napkin. I have a rubber cover on the top of my master cylinders but the reservoir cover is missing. After talking to Matco, I think that I am going to change up to the MC-5A cylinders. I have the MC-1's. Diagrams for all of the cylinders is at: http://matco.elixirlabs.com/catalog/index.php? file=catalog&uid=2192&prod_pcategory=69102&clist=0,68008,69102&uid=2192 The 2 types of peddle cylinders that we have on our planes are: Master Cylinder MC-1 or Master Cylinder MC-5A -- Lorn H.
