I just installed an EX m/c on my hatch, the m/c came with the nipples and tubing needed to bench bleed.

Basically, you thread nipples to the ports and attach fluid lines to them, then you run the lines back into the reservoir. Cycle the m/c piston with a screwdriver which drives the air out of the mc and into the reservoil where it floats out of the system.

I think I got a set of Goodridge S/S brake lines from an eBay seller.
