There ws a tiny bit of brake fluid at the bottom when I noticed it and filled it back up, but it was pretty much empty. The front resevoir was fine, it didn't leak out at all.
So, should I remove the mc and bench bleed it now? If I do bench bleed it, is it okay to do it while installed? I've heard that doing it while the mc is installed won't push the plunger in as far as it would if you had it on a bench and were pushing it in with a stick or screwdriver.
Thanks

If the ports were uncovered then you should be able to bleed the master in position, hope that helps. | | |
