Default bench bleeding a MC.

is it really needed. cant i bleed the mc along whith the bakes all at the same time. it sounds like its just to save you some time. the reason i say this is becouse i dont have a bench or a vise that you need to do this.

it will save u from getting tons of bubbles in the lines which could take hours to get out. easy but effective way to bleed it. mount it on the booster, fill it up and hold two fingers over the holes tightly with someone pumpin the brakes very slowly. you'll feel the air pushin out. just don't let it back in. proceed until done.

I put em on, then bleed from the fittings going into it. Have someone pump the pedal, hold, and release air by opening the fitting. Repeat until there's no air. Remember that brake fluid kills paint if you care about it.
