Troubleshooting Installation of Titan Replacement Master Cylinder Assembly T1777401
Question:
Bought the complete set - Brake master cylinder T1777401 Brake kit 40716-15 flexible lines # 18TA-BLKIT and T1209800 Orifice Connector Did the air bleeding from all valves as well as brake lines However i couldnt get the brake work. The master cylinder seems too hard to pump/ push in It cant go in no more than 1/8 inch. I think some thing goes wrong with master cylinder. Please advise.

Titan Replacement Master Cylinder Assembly # T1777401 for their model 6 drum brake actuator is shown in the linked review video. If you watch the video you'll see that when our reviewer handles the master cylinder the push rod assembly only travels a very small distance, perhaps 1/4-inch.
If you have bled all air from the reservoir, lines and brake assemblies themselves and you do not have hydraulic pressure reaching the brakes I suggest you check that the system is filled with the recommended DOT-3 brake fluid and repeat the bleeding process using a pressure type bleeder as recommended by Titan on page 2 of the instructions which I've linked separately. Be certain that all bleeder screws on the brakes are fully closed after this process and that all fittings are secure.
