If you are replacing the master cylinder it must be pre bled before being 
installed. All I can tell you is the way I do it and it works every time for 
me. Master cylinder pre bled and installed, I have a hose and bottle which I 
press onto the bleeder of the rear brake which is the furthest away  and 
crack it open. Make shore the master cylinder is full and pump the brake 
till there is no air coming out. Do the same to every wheel cylinder and 
bingo you should have brakes. You can do this on your own but it is easer 
whit the help of another body. {Make shore that the hose in the bottle is 
always in fluid so that air can't get back up the hose.} Peter,.
