Im using a master cylinder with the resivoir mounted on top. I was bleed the brakes last night, went to top off the resivoir and noticed it would spin. Its not loose it just spins. Before I go any further bleeding, does anyone elses do this? Don't want to keep bleeding if its just letting in air...thanks

Does air get in the reservoir when you take the cap off?

I guess if it's not leaking fluid at the interface and you keep the fluid level up, you wouldn't get any air in the system.

you might be able to just pick up new grommets/seals if your res is in good shape.

Once mine started spinning the plastic was spinning where its bonded to the metal base, there wasnt a seal to replace.

At least thats how mine was made.
