In Reply to: New master cylinder-bleeding questions posted by Colin on August 12, 2001 at 14:40:33:

I bench bled mine using a vise to hold it and continously pouring fluid into all the holes and moving the pistion in and out until fluid starting coming out of all the holes when you move the piston. It was mega messy. Hanyes manual has a paragraph or 2 about it along /w pics


Before installing my new master cylinder, do I need to "bench bleed" it? I have a pressure bleeder and I'm wondering if bench bleeding is necessary when using a pressure bleeder. If so, how do I do it, since the master cylinder has 5 outlet ports?
TIA for any help
Colin
