why wouldn't it bleed like any other m/c. They usually supply plastic srew in pieces with tubes that you route into the reservoir. When you no longer see bubbles its bled.
What did that set you back. 400 bucks???

Just like any other master cylinder. Better done on a bench, mounted in a vice, just connect a pipe from each outlet, back into the master cylinder (one in front, one in back), pour fluid into the master cylinder so the ends of the tubes are covered, then just use a screw driver to push the plunger in until you see no air bubbles coming out of the tubes.
You could do it when its in the car ..just have to disconnect the factory lines and have someone press the pedal.

They are actually decently priced at around 200 dollars

Look in the box it came in and there should be 2 plastic fittings and 2 short clear plastic hoses to screw into the tube connections for bench bleeding. I have the same one and it came with these.

I always bench bleed with the master in the car. It's easier, no spilling while transporting it over a fender, and you have the pedal to work with.
I do bench bleed, but int eh car and not on a bench. Glad you figured it out.

This is the exact same MC that I want to install in my 76. However, they made some MC years with a deep dimple for the push rod and others with a shallow dimple for the pushrod.
Can someone please tell me if this is a shallow dimple??
