Brake bleeding, master cylinder/ booster.

[brigond]

I bought a new brake booster and master cylinder. Anyone bench bleed the master cylinder?  Where would I get the tubes to do it. I was thinking of just  installing it and since I have to replace the rotors , I could just press the caliper piston in. Wouldn't pressing the caliper piston in cause the fluid to fill the master cylinder and push out the air?  Anyone do this lately?

I'd still bench bleed your master cylinder.  You might be able to get the tubes from a local auto parts store or if you have a set of old brake lines, cut the fittings off and enough tubing to route them to the top of the master cylinder.  It'll save you some brake bleeding afterwards.

I had to replace the master cylinder on my truck and saved the kit that come with the master cylinder.
