I have heard stories about someone bleeding the breaks, (not loved LBC but =
their daily driver), after replacing a caliper or wheel cylinder, and short=
ly thereafter experienced a master cylinder failure. The reported reason wa=
s the master cylinder was being pressed into territory that it didn't trave=
l under normal conditions, and due to slight pitting or corrosion, the seal=
s in the master were compromised. The block under the pedal is reported to=
hopefully prevent this. Obviously not necessary with a new master cylinde=
r.
YMMV,
Sloane
