Brake Master cylinder Bench bleed

You would need to fit some bleed nipples to the outlets, top up reservoir , and while pressing the plunger open bleed nipple to allow air out then close nipple it allowing further air in. Holding it in a vice would help

HI Thanks for your reply I might try without bleeding as I find it hard to get parts other than ordering online and landy has been off road for over a week now waiting for parts etc, The reservoir is connected by a pipe so there is only one more out let once Reservoir is connected?
Kind Regards Tom
 
Best to bleed the whole system with everything fitted, this is a page from the whole workshop manual which you can find online, sounds like you have a single line system

Thanks Steve for help that is fantastic I was going to bleed the whole system but I thought the new master cylinder needed bleeding a well .The diagram you kindly sent me will show me exactly what to do cheers mate Best Tom
 
With a new master it is good to put a little fluid in before operating it fully, just pump it some with short strokes until fluid comes out before connecting the outlet pipe. Going for a full stroke with a dry master can sometimes result in the piston sticking and the return spring not having enough oomph to push the piston back, pedal moves back and fore but the piston does not.
I think this is a common reason people have so much trouble bleeding a new system.
