Agree. But that post was 9 yrs ago and that guy may not be around anymore. Seems like there were more M-B purists here in those days, many who fussed a lot but never touched a wrench. Today I see more "git 'er done" bottom-feeders like me with these cars.
I always install the MC in the car first, so I can use the pedal to stroke the MC. Seems silly that these guys worry how level it is. Don't connect the car's tubing yet. Instead, install clear "bleed tubes" which curve back to flow the fluid from the ports back into the reservoir. These sometimes come in the box w/ a rebuilt MC or can buy cheap at any auto parts. Pump the pedal until you see no more air bubbles in the tubing, might take 50 strokes. Then connect to the car's tubing. And watch the youtube's. I use silicone fluid so no corrosion and doesn't remove the paint.
