Just a FYI, there are many that swear by bench bleeding. Yes it works well. This is the lazy method.

Don't even know what bench bleeding is (or how to do it).
Will be using the 914Rubber install procedure for the 19mm Master Cylinder.

You can google bench beading, but you are essentially doing the same thing in the car with this technique. The idea is a that you are pumping the fluid into the reservoir that feeds into the master cylinder. It allows you to see that there are no bubbles coming out. Then introduce it to the brake lines.

Just use a pressure bleeder like Motiv. Makes bleeding an easy, 1 person job.

I've been pressure bleeding with a modified reservoir cap since 1994, when I installed a hydraulic clutch in my 3.0 conversion
