for some reason, the MB MC's don't. I think if you put a rag under your mc, install it, with the lines loose, then fill the reservoirs, they will bleed themselves. when clear fluid weeps out the line nuts, tighten them, then proceed to bleed the brakes at each wheel normally.

Awesome! That is the way I did it on my old Toyota Corolla ( 1974 ) way back when I was in college. Believe it or not that was the last master cylinder I ever had to install. This MC in my 86 is the original one with 24 years and 122,000 miles on it. I guess I have had good service out of it. The MC in my 85 380se with 257,000 miles on it is the original. I am a firm believer in yearly brake fluid changes. The sdl does not get driven as much and this probably had an affect on my calipers and brake hoses which I just replaced.
My old brake hoses were almost swollen shut.
Thanks for the input and advice!
