master cylinder dry?
is it bad to let the master cylinder resevoir go dry? i've heard conflicting things. if so, why?
im replacing brake pads and probably a caliper (i think its siezed AGAIN) and we bent the hard line a little too much apparently, so now its leaking. can't really figure out a way to plug it, so is it bad for it to go dry?
and why do my calipers keep seizing/

running dry will allow air into the lines and the hydraulics fail, thats why its bad.
if your replacing these parts it shouldn't be a problem if you bleed the air out after the repair. dont drive it leaking or youll have a new set of problems.
use the proper grease and lube the calipers.
