On both my 38 and my 51 I used the method shown in the shop manual. I used a tube from the bleeder to a bottle and did all the bleeding myself. I started with the furthest away and I did not bench bleed the master. Many years ago with my buddies we would have someone "pump up the pedal" and hold while bleeding. I found this to be unnecessary. These are both stock systems that I am talking about.
