[DML] Re: Replacing Brake Master Cylinder

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I usually "bench" bleed after the master cylinder is installed in the
vehicle: run two rubber hoses from the output ports back into the
reservior and activate the pedal until no air bubbles pass through.
Replacement master cylinders often come with disposable plastic barbs
to attach the hoses, but for a dollar or two you can buy honest to
goodness brass ones.
