NEED HELP ASAP: got air in the brake lines when changing master cylinder
I was pulling out the cylinder when I hit long *** thing that the cylinder fits around and I heard air come from it and I just knew I got air in there. I replaced everything and refilled the brake fluid and no brakes. Whats the best way to get out the air?

Bleed the brakes.
get a pop bottle and fill with brake fluid, then get a 3/8 inch plastic tube
and connect at the bleeder and take other end and put in pop bottle.
make sure the hose stays submerged in the fluid and open bleeder. Go pump brakes 3-4 times and the air should be out of that brake line. then do the other 3..... just a thought, but really 1 man to bleed brakes is like a one legged man in a azz kickin contest... it just does'nt work

Here's a super easy way to bleed your brakes no one has mentioned, get some clear tubing, at least 10 feet. Put one end on the bleeder nipple, put the other end on the open master cylinder. Pump away. Assuming you have clean fluid, it will just cycle around until there's no air in your lines.

they also sell speedibleeders but no point in putting them on a car you aren't going to keep.
