And for those that might be wondering, if you have a leak at the booster it's always going to be the internal seals on the master cylinder, the larger ring is to keep vacuum in the booster, so if you see fluid, it's getting past both the internal seals and that Oring.
Jeeze, I hope my brakes work. I didn't know about the whole Girling/ATE thing. I just installed a new brake booster and master cylinder and went for it. Everything is bled, but I have not driven it yet as other work needs to be finished.
Was there no hose clamp on the lil' hose-to-plastic-reservoir connection? I'm also not sure if this was a previous owner thing or not, (yay used early 944s) but mine came with a lil' round clampy clamp there.
Yes there is a clamp and I completely forgot to put it back on during the video. I have a new hose ordered so waiting for that to come in and will be able to install the hose and clamp.
That is a great question and I'm not 100% sure on it. I know I didn't bench bleed mine and everything worked out and I don't remember seeing anything in the Porsche manual to bench bleed it.
@@spencerdog944 that gives me more reassurance. i hope using the motive will be enough to get all the air out. thanks man, hope yours is still running great!

That is good info! Thank you
Thank you so much!

As long as there are no leaks or air in the system sounds like you should be good. What other work you have to do with yours?
looking forward to the next video...i've been thinking about replacing my thermostat but that snap ring seems intimidating.
Perfect timing. Just editing the video for the thermostat and it was as bad as they say...lol

is bench bleeding necessary for the master cylinder?

@@nicka.8993 She is! Got to do some tie rods and we'll be shooting a video on that plus have to get the mirrors put back on 😁
@@spencerdog944 looking forward to it 👍
How did you bleed the master cylinder? I’m having trouble
Hey Nathan! You would connect your bleed line to the slave cylinder and bleed from there
