Correct
Also dont forget to bench bleed it. what that is, is taking some hoses and hooking them up where the brake lines go. Then fill it with brake fluid, then pump the hell out of it untill the thing is completly bled thro.

That will save you LOTS of time later, also dont foget to still bleed the brakes anyway just to be safe because theres a chance you can still get air pockets in them but the bench methode saves you lots of time.

Yeah, and buy a brand new M/C, not used. I just bought a junkyard one and replaced a bad master cylinder with a bad master cylinder.

They're about $70 adler brand new on eBay.

you will have to buy a 10mm flare nut wrench (if you have ABS i think you will need a 12 mm to. but can the the combo wrench for a couple of buck). you can not use a reg. wrench on the flare nut because it is brass and you will strip the hell out of it.

Same here. Did you buy used or new M/C, and did you bench bleed the M/C before installing, then bleed all 4 corners? I bench bled, but didn't bleed all 4 yet... Pedal still sinks for me too.
