Q: How do you bench bleed a master cylinder?
A:
You will need to install fittings into the ports and fill the master cylinder halfway. Run hoses off the fittings back into the master cylinder reservoir and use a rounded tool to depress the piston as far as it will go. You will see bubbles coming out of the master cylinder as the air is bled out of the system. Make sure to keep an eye on the fluid level and add as needed.
