Hello,

I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. My master cylinder ran dry when I changed the wheel cylinders on the rear drum brakes. I bled the brakes pretty thoroughly - don't see any bubbles. That said, I still have a suspicion air is now trapped in the master cylinder. In Corollas, can you remove all of the air from the master cylinder by bleeding all four brakes at the bleeder screws? Or does the master cylinder now need to be bench bled?
