I am getting ready to replace my master cylinder on a '97 4runner. Is it not also neccessary to bleed the brake lines in sequence(pass rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front) as well as the master cylinder?

Good morning, how do you know? When all the air is out, brake fluid is still coming out.

My master cylinder fluid seems to go up to max or minimum when I use my car any suggestions?

we have the same vehicle. i fully broke down my master cylinder and it looked respectably in great condition internally. including the thick rubber seals. i bled and vehicle stops good 1 time but after holding brake pedal it sinks to the floor, no leaks. rear wheel cylinders not leaking and drums adjusted. any idea?

If the forward line is an immediate and consistent steam but the one closer to the driver is the one dropping can you just do the one that isn’t good?
