Remove the two 12mm bolts, remove the two brake hydraulic lines. Bench bleed the new M/C, and reverse the order and bleed your brakes.

The order for bleeding brakes is:

Rear Passenger
Front Driver
Rear Driver
Front passenger

I always thought it was start from furthest away from M/C and work your way closest?! Can someone clarify this?

Is it neccessary to bench bleed the new master cylinder?

EDIT: After searching, it appears that it is.

With different ABS systems they all have different bleeding orders - check a Helm book for YOUR car.

But I think if you bleed the wrong order, the only problem is you might have to go around a couple more times before all the bubbles are out.
