1978 Toyota Landcruiser 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 200K + miles

Sirs; Two stage master cylinder won't bleed out. I have a tool from napa but still won't remove all air. Do I need a pump? I have read I need to bench bleed, but is that necessary, what is the difference? I have pumped about a gal. of fluid already. Thanks, Rick

bench bleeding It is absolutely necessary, unless you want to bleed the entire system, make sure you are collapsing. The master cylinder all the way, and let it out slowly, to give time for the fluid to into the chamber, so you do not get air in the system.
