Changing the brake master cylinder. Do not have a vise to anchor the master cylinder to bench bleed it. Is there another way to do this?

If you have two people (that can play well together) you can mount it on the vehicle and bleed it on board (I prefer this way myself).

You are going to need the plastic adapters and little clear hoses.

I am going to send you a link, read the parts on how I do it. There is a link in there showing how another feller did his project vehicle. That link will be helpful in seeing it with your own eyes.

Return and let me know if this helped at all!

Hello,

You can use a vise mounted on a bench as well.

Here is a guide that can help you
