I have a '62 Lark with a dual master cyl. Could not get the old one to bleed so I bought A rebuilt one. This one acts the same as the old one. I tried bench bleeding it to no avail. Put it on the car and still won't bleed or pump out fluid although I did get some pedal on the front brakes. Nothing to the rear. Help! Thanks

I put my fingers over the two outlets, then push the piston in while it's clamped in the vice. Another way is to use adaptors with short hoses that feed back into the reservior, so you can pump away to remove the air and have no chance of getting any more air into it. -
Check that the rear flex hose is in good shape, they can collapse internally, and block fluid. Jim Turner makes fresh d.o.t approved replacementsBez Auto Alchemy

Also check the push rod into the M/C, IF it's too tight, you'll never get brakes!

Not Jim, but I also thought of push rod free travel - try about one-half inch (before the pedal engages anything in the master cylinder).Originally posted by TENNESSEEHILLBILLY View Post
Keep in mind that you are working with a modified system as Studebaker did not offer a dual master cylinder system for the 1962 model year.Gary L.
