      OK as for bench bleeding the master cylinder try this, simply get plugs to fit the line holes and stroke the master cylinder slowly(take about 20 to 30 seconds to go down 1 in) and watch for bubbles coming out of the holes inside the master cylinderthen when it olny moves about 1/16th to 1/8th in your ready to put it on the car.
      Then with one line open (i do the rear first) I open one bleeder and watch to see if thelevel goes down. As it goes down then afteryou start getting fluid at the open bleeder then open the other on the same axle, then when it starts moving fluid I will close that up and do the same on the front if possible (you can leave the front line off and the plug still in the master cyl. ) Then you go to the whell farthest from the master ,,,open the bleeder then have someone push slowly on the pedal till it stops, close bleeder, let up pedal, then do it at least 3 times and watch master cyl level while doing this. Then have pedal pumper pump the pedal ,not fast just 3 or 4 firm steady pumps and hold it andthen open a bleeder (farthest first) then afte getting sysstem bled hook up front and do it same way.
      Then after doing this and thinking you have good pedal, let it set about 20 or 30 minutes and clean up, top off fluid then simply have the pumper get in and place foot on pedal and push , then open bleeder and have them hold it till you close bleeder.
      Now if you want the faster approach, buy a Phoenix Injector and reverse bleed the system from the bleeders, air goes up so 2 little hoses in a bottle and simply pushing all the air up, then install the master cylinder and hook it up, tighten both lines then open both lines one turn of the wrench and have your pedal pusher push slowly so as to not spray the engine compartment down. then close them both, do it again and your done.

      These products flat out ROCK! I am on my second kit as the first just plain wore out and the new one gets left at work and I use it almost daily. And if you beat on your cars brakes regularly then brake flushing is a usefull tool and this is the tool i reverse bleed master cylinders with then with the accesories included you can do many things. It can also be set up for other fluids but I keep mine mainly for brakes but do use it some for vacuum work.
      AND it really helps if you have a hydralic clutch and about 2 to 4 times a year you can flush the clutch system and keep that new clutch feel.
      Hope this helps some people.
