In Reply to: Re: New master cylinder-bleeding questions posted by MitchM '71 on August 12, 2001 at 21:55:42:

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

I recently installed a new M/C, and did not bench bleed it. Never had to. My 1600 had a bleed nipple on top, and this must be bled, but never an 02.

ps- you'll just get air in there anyway, since you have to hook it back up to the hard lines. A pressure bleeder (used garden sprayer) should work just fine.
