mc bleeding and gravity bleeding?

I bench bled the mc but I think I still have air in the mc due to the hoses I was using. I didn't have a extra set of hard lines to loop it back in itself. I went ahead and connected it to the power booster. The question I have is, if I gravity bled at all four corners,  does that expel all the air out of the mc?

It should but I found it really doesnt. Its easier if you can find a helper and do a two man bleed. The easiest way is to buy a motive power bleeder. It will take five minutes to bleed the entire car with it.

Yup, the power bleeder was the best tool I have ever bought!  I thought it was pricey at first but after doing it once on my charger after replacing all of the fuel and brake lines with stainless steel, the thing basically paid for itself as I did not have to bother anyone with trying to do the two man method.  It also makes it that much easier to do upkeep maintenance on changing out the brake fluid every 3 years.

This is the kit that I got years ago.

It basically has all the adapters that you need including doing todays vehicles with the round master cyl cap.
