master cylinder bench bleeding
I've read all the posts on bleeding the brake lines after putting in a new master cylinder.
However, I wanted to know where to find the kits that are mentioned to bench bleed the master cylinder. I tried the local stores but they dont have any such "master cylinder" bleeding kits. Is there a way to bench bleed a master cylinder without using any particular "kits" ? thnx much.

no kit
that i am aware of. while bench bleeding is fine, it is not essential. i have installed many of them. i did bench bleed it once but decided to skip it after that with no ill effect.

I didnt have a bench or a vise so I just set it on the floor and used my fingers to cover the ports... I used my mom as well, unless you have looong fingers itll help to get a second person. I know the thing wasn't level but i figured it was better than nothing... no complaints here, MC works great. I put on some of those PBR ceramic deluxe pads or whatever that fastlane has and I can lock the wheels up now. Not that its a good thing but its a indication of more braking power.
The ceramic pads put out a lot of brake dust if anyone wants to know... a lot more than my old ones.
