What kind of brakes does a Porsche 356 have?
The Porsche 356 braking system evolved greatly through the years. We’ve got parts for both the early drum brake equipped cars, as well as the later 356C version, which had disc brakes. 000-043-305-11 Brake Cylinder Paste. Lubricates Brake Cylinders During Assembly.
Is there a way to bleed the Master brakes?
Sounds like you need to bleed the master. Just like the calipers you need to get the air out of the MC. Put a hose on the bleeders on the side of the MC and loop it back into the top of the master. Pump brakes and open the bleeder just like on the caliper.
What causes no brake fluid to come out when bleeding?
Flex hoses deliver brake fluid from reservoir and brake master/cylinder to the brake caliper. In case the hoses happen to have any cut, or it’s torn out, there will be no pressure in the brakes; thus, brake bleeding will fail. It also causes the brake fluid to leak.
Why did my brakes Bleed the second time?
Bled them again, but this time bled the master cylinder first, which no air ever came out) Then the wheels again. Never got any air out the second go around, and even ran a whole bottle through just to be sure.

How to bleed brakes after disc brake conversion?
We’re finally ready to bleed the four disc brake conversion on our 1963 Resto Custom Beetle. Bleeding the brake system completely of air is the most important step to ensuring safe stops. We use a vacuum bleeder first and follow with the old fashion pump and hold method to evacuate the air from the hydraulic system.
Is it normal to Bleed your brake system?
We are going to be bleeding our brake system which is nearly all new. Getting all of the air out of the master cylinder, lines, hoses, brake calipers, and wheel cylinders is crucial to ensure safe stops. More often than not, any problem after installing new brake components are attributed to not completely bleeding the brake system.
Where is the bleeder valve on a disc brake?
The front right caliper is unbolted from the spindle and rotated up on the brake rotor until the brake bleeder valve is at the top of the piston. Again, the manual bleeding process is done until no air bubbles appear. The caliper is bolted back to the spindle. The brake fluid is topped off again if needed.
