[TR] Brake master cylinder

[Roger Wilson]

Fred,

Are you recommending filling and bleeding prior to installation? I have a
mityvac, so that would not be a problem, but what is the advantage to bench
bleeding?

Roger

Roger, fill it with fluid and bleed it out, install the unit and then adjust

the the bolt/nut inor out, usually out from it's old position, bleeding and 
bench testing are very important rather than road testing (know what I me 
mean)  "FT"
