1973 SB
I have my master out and clamped in my vise. When I push in the plunger,
brake fluid will be taken in the front circuit but not the rear circuit. I put a small amount of fluid in the holes to see it move. The front one squirts out nicely, the rear one nada. Is this normal on a VW master or time to replace? |

I'd rig up a bench bleed lit so the tube for the rear brakes can suck in brake fluid from a jar on the return stroke. You need to get all the air out.
