I am trying to bench bleed my master cylinder on a 94 altima...the directions state to attach the bleeding hoses to the outlet valves?? I haver four valves that merely state front or rear??
The outlet valves are the bleeder valves behind the wheels the ones you open up when your bleeding the system.But to bleed the master cylinder mount it to the car and then fill master cylinder and then screw in the bleeder hoses at the locations where the metal lines hook up to the master cylinder and bend the hoses around back around to the top of the master cylinder so when your bleeding the master cylinder the brake fluid goes back into the top of it to get the air out of it.Then hook up your brake lines back to the master cylinder and bleed out the rest of the system to the wheels.Usually when doing this you start with the right rear bleeder behind that wheel but have someone there to pump on the pedal even when your bleeding the master cylinder first and then you do the rest of the system.On some cars bleeding the rest of the system starts with sometimes different wheels like the front and or the back.But on a usual bases you generally start with the right rear then the left rear and then the right front then the left front.But by bleeding the system check with a shop to find out what the bleeding steps are to bleeding the wheels outs at the valves each car is almost different to do.But the master cylinder is the easiest to start with when it comes to bleeding it but watch out when going to hook up the brake lines back to it because some brake lines are hard to hook up and what I mean by this the fiitting might get cross threaded when putting them
All hot water heaters have what they call Anode Rods For more than 60 years, it has been used as a key part of the rust protection of a tank. The rods are made of magnesium or aluminum that's formed around a steel core wire and is screwed into the top of the tank. A lot of the times they are on the hot water outlet. You should have a dielectric union separating the galvanized pipe on the top of the water heater from the copper pipe for your house supply. You should be able to remove the anode rod from the tank and get a replacement from your local plumbing supply store. Most likely the sediment/ hard water deposits have deteriorated the rod and have caused corrosive deposits to clog your lines.
