| system if the reservoir totally empties. Could have some air bubbles in the piston - best to add the fluid slowly allowing the bubbles to perk up. You should be able to skip the full bleed if you do the replacement this way: - Skip the standard bench bleed, just plain messy - Plug up the brake line connection ports using the plastic disposable bench bleed threaded plugs, put a screw in the nipple holes where the bench bleed short hoses are supposed to connect. - Slowly fill the reservoir tipping it left'/right & back/forth to get the air bubbles to perk up. Fill a little, tip around, let sit, fill some more, tip, etc. - Once reservoir is decently full, attach the MC and connect up the two brake lines. - Get a friend to push down on the brake pedal and leave it there (don't pull it back up). - Crack each of the brake lines nuts (separately) a little bit and let them spray some - should push out any air. Idea is just to crack a bit - just enough so you can get both done. That's it. PS - Another way to get the air out if the car is already off the ground with both front wheels removed. Connect up the MC a mentioned above, push the caliper pistons back a bit (like doing a pad replace) - that will force fluid into the MC and push air out. Only worth trying if the front end of car is already being serviced.
