Lee,

I just drained all of my brake fluid to take off and change the gear casting. 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:

The 2 types of peddle cylinders that we have on our planes are:

       Master Cylinder MC-1
   or  Master Cylinder MC-5A
