1998 Mazda Protege Front Wheel Drive Manual 95,000 miles

We have instructions to bleed the master cylinder and it states to open the brake tube. Is that the same as the brake line?

Hi there,

Yes the brake tube & line are the same, hold the pedal down and crack open the brake pipe nuts at the master cylinder allow air? fluid to escape and close lines before raising pedal, repeat until all air is expelled, then bleed each wheel as well.
