master cylinder bleeding
Hi. I am replacing the MC and brake booster. Can anybody explain how to bleed the MC? I checked the repair manual and it does not say anything about it or as though there is no need to bleed it.

Re: master cylinder bleeding
If you like you can bench bleed it by hooking up the reservoir and running lines from the outlets back into it. Pretty standard operation but a PITA with the remote reservoir.
Personally, I’ve been successful just hooking it all up and vacuum bleeding the system.

Re: master cylinder bleeding
fill the MC with fluid before you connect the brake lines. start bleeding the longest line first (LR, then RR, then LF, then RF)
