I finished swaping out my master brake cylinder from 17 to 19mm, no leaking. I keep pushing down the brake pedel with no resistance. If I keep pushing it down, will I eventually feel resistance or do I need to bleed the brakes first?

I pulled the new master cylinder and did not do anything before mounting there isn't anything special I should have done to it should I?

Feedback is appreeciated.

Thnx
Brian

Yes you need to bleed your brakes, a bunch!

Some recomend bench bleeding the MC when you replace it, but I have no idea how you would do that. I put mine in dry then bleed the brakes
