Why did you drain the brake fluid, especially if you don't know how to bleed the brakes?

That would certainly require a lot more effort, as it would need to be removed and bench bled. Still, nothing a couple hours can't fix.

fyi, always keep the master cylinder full with brake fluid.

Now, u need to remove the master cylinder from the car & bench bleed the master cylinder, install back on the car, then begin bleeding the brakes.

No reason to drain the brake lines or even disconnect the brake lines to remove the axles. Just leave it all connected and remove the caliper and hang it from the spring or set it on an upsidedown pail (which is what I do).

Holy ****, he thought he had to drain all the brake fluid to remove the axles and he's going to try swapping an entire engine? WOW, good luck dude .
