Brakes
« on: February 12, 2017 - 02:05:16 PM »
I had to install a new master cylinder on my car, but when I went to bleed the system I got fluid out of the right side wheel cylinders only. Nothing from the left side. I think its the distribution block, any body else have this problem?

The way this reads is your getting fluid out of both right side cylinders(plural).. The distribution block might make sense for the front but not the rear, a single line goes to the rear axle where it T's to the L/R brakes.

When rebuilding my brakes one of the bleeder's was clogged which took some effort to clear out.. On the front I doubt the block is the problem, by the time the fluid gets to it's T it is already past the working parts although it is possible it could be clogged there.

You could try cracking the line going in to the wheel cylinder while applying pedal pressure to verify whether you're getting pressure or not to the cylinder.
