Why remove it? I never "bench-bleed" on the bench since the pedal is much easier. All you need to do now is unbolt the 3 tubes and connect 3 stub tubes that route back to the reservoir. You can buy these in plastic parts cheap at auto parts. Clear plastic tubing is best to watch for bubbles. Keep pumping the pedal all the way down until you see no bubbles circulating thru the tubes. Might take 50 pumps, watch youtube. Then just reconnect the 3 factory tubes. You don't need to bleed those again. You should see fluid still at the top of each. If not, fill to the top (syringe, etc).

The diagnostic for air in the system is that you see a geyser of liquid shoot up into the reservoir as you release the pedal. That is easily visible in older cars w/ an open reservoir, but don't know if you could see it in yours. Thoroughly hose off any spilt brake fluid since it is a great paint remover, the exception is those smart enough to use silicone fluid (me).
