It's pretty easy . You will just have to bleed the master cylinder & possibly the brakes.

bleed the MC on the bench! You need to rig up some lod shortened brake lines with plastic hoses so you can pump fluid in and out to get all the air out of the MC. Install full and quickly exchange the pipes. I had mucho trouble getting air out of the MC before I did this, and then all was sweet. Sloping mounted MC are the worst to bleed of all.

You generally have to disconnect the brake lines to bleed the master, which if your fitting a new master means the lines will already be disconnected!..

arent they just 4 hoses with ball valves in them?

and i dont think they would helpo you with blkeeding the master cylinder, unless you put bleed screws in the brake line holes first.

Thats what I was thinking some dummy lines... my arms arent long enough to block the master cyl ports and pump the brake pedal at the same time.
