Ive overhauled the master cyl on the vc commodore and bled the brakes but feel I still have air in the system
How many pumps of the pedal would it take to move fluid from the outlet of the master cyl to the brake caliper?

Well, you could calculate displaced volume per stroke of the master and work out the volume of the lines to decide how many pumps, or just bleed it again and see if it improves.

If youve pinched/damaged a seal in the master then you're losing pressure and nothing will change.

you did fit the new seals the right way?


ps... LOTS of pumps from master to LHR caliper, only 2 or so to RHF caliper

For the LHR how many pedal pumps would be right if I had air at the master outlet?

if you cant graverty bleed it then 3 or 4 goes at each bleeder nipple there is something wrong as in air leaking in some where.
open the nipple till fliud comes out do that on all nipples, then bleed it with a helper pump up pedal open nipple. I once lost the reaction disk in the booster and changed 1/2 a dozen master cyclinders before I worked out what was wrong.
GM bleed us dry and run away.
