Bleed Master Cylinder First or Last?
I have reason to believe that my MC needs to be bled, do I bleed MC first or last in the bleeding sequence?

First at the cylinder. You might luck out and be able to bleed it just by having someone mash the pedal and crack the lines at the MC. If the pedal is good and hard once you're done, no need to chase the air down to all four corners, is there?

Thought so, thanks! I will pressurize MC and then crack the lines one at a time and see how that goes -thanks again!

Usually the mc is not a problem.

when's the last time you've changed your brake fluid? fyi- it must be changed every 2 years.

i never bleed the mc. i've done hundreds of fluid changes and always begin by bleeding the wheel furthest from the mc and so on, wait for the fluid leaking through and you will never have a problem.
