Bench Bleeding:

PROCEDURE
1. Mount the master cylinder in a vise and fill the reservoirs.
2. Fabricate two bleed tubes (1) and install them in the outlet ports.
3. Using a push rod or a wooden dowel (2) slowly compress and release the piston assemblies. Allow the pistons to return via spring pressure.
4. Continue to compress and release the pistons until air bubbles cease to appear in the fluid.
5. If necessary lightly tap the master cylinder with a rubber mallet to aid the release of air bubbles.
6. Remove the bleed tubes, cap and outlet ports and install the reservoir cover.
