    Brake Bleeding and Wilwood master cylinders

    I am at the point of bleeding my brakes. I am using the Wilwood pedals/MCs with a Tilton remote reservoir. For the life of me I cannot get the plastic top to seal against the master cylinders... Every time I go to bleed the brakes I am sucking in air.

    Anyone else run into the same issue?

    I have the same set up and didn't and don't have a problem bleeding the brakes. What I did have a problem with was getting the banjo fittings to seal up on one of the masters.
