First, you need to secure the mounting flange of the brake master cylinder in a bench vise, remove the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm, install suitable fittings to the master cylinder ports that match the type of flare seat required, and also provide for hose attachment, and install transparent hoses to the fittings installed to the master cylinder ports, then route the hoses into the master cylinder reservoir. Then, please fill the master cylinder reservoir to at least the halfway point with GM-approved brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container, ensure that the ends of the transparent hoses running into the master cylinder reservoir are fully submerged in the brake fluid, use a smooth, round-ended tool to depress and release the primary piston as far as it will travel, a depth of about 25 mm (1 in), several times. As air is bled from the primary and secondary pistons, the effort required to depress the primary piston will increase and the amount of travel will decrease. You need to continue to depress and release the primary piston until fluid flows freely from the ports with no evidence of air bubbles, remove the transparent hoses from the master cylinder reservoir, and install the master cylinder reservoir cap and diaphragm. Finally, you should remove the fittings with the transparent hoses from the master cylinder ports, wrap the master cylinder with a clean shop cloth to prevent brake fluid spills, and remove the master cylinder from the vise.
