I was looking under my hood and noticed that my master cylinder has a covered screw, similar to the ones on calipers. Is this a bleed screw? If so, can I bleed it via gravity bleeding?
One more question. When gravity bleeding, air can't get in the system as long as the master cylinder does not run dry and as long as the brake pedal does not get pumped, correct?
Here's what I planned to do:
1. Open bleeder screw on master cylinder (if mine has one) and allow to drain, while adding clean fluid, until fluid draining is new looking.
2. Open passenger-rear bleeder screw, and allow to drain, while adding fluid to master cylinder, until fluid draining is new looking.
3. Repeat 2 for driver-rear wheel.
4. Repeat 2 for passenger-front wheel.
5. Repeat 2 for driver-front wheel.
All input is appreciated.
