Get the Bentley service manuel for your year car as it has a lot of info you will need later on also. Well I believe after '70 or '71 on standard Beetles and all the Supers have a "duel" master cylinder system. The front brakes are isolated from the rears. If you lose the fluid from the front system you will still have the rear brakes available and visa versa. Either way, just go to the farthest wheel and bleed that one first. Right rear and then left rear. Right front then left front. Just bleed BOTH the front wheels before doing BOTH rears on a "duel" system. Get a clear plastic tube the same size as the bleeder screw head on the wheel and just have a helper step on the brake pedal as you open the screw slightly and then close the screw BEFORE the helper releases the pedal. The Master Cylinder creates a slight vacuum when you release the pedal so it will suck air back into the system again. Make sure the reservoir stays full or you'll have to do it all over again for that system.

Does changing the master cylinder change the way you bleed the brakes?
Yes, changing the master cylinder can affect the way you bleed the brakes. When a new master cylinder is installed, it may require a different bleeding procedure due to potential air trapped within the unit itself. It's often recommended to bleed the master cylinder before connecting it to the brake lines to ensure efficient brake fluid flow and eliminate air. After that, you can proceed to bleed the brakes at each wheel as usual.

How do you get your back brakes to bleed?
You bleed the rear brakes the same way you bleed the front brakes. If you can't get brake fluid to come out the rear bleeders you may have a faulty master cylinder or the master was allowed to empty out the reservoir that feeds the rear and now it is air bound. Removing the master cylinder and bench bleeding the master may be what you need to do and don't let the reservoir go dry!

To replace the brake master cylinder on a 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle, first, disconnect the battery and remove the brake fluid from the reservoir to avoid spills. Next, unbolt the master cylinder from the brake booster and disconnect the brake lines, using a line wrench to prevent damage. Install the new master cylinder by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure, and then refill the brake fluid and bleed the brakes to remove any air from the system. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the brakes for proper function.
