I bleed my brakes, after removing the brake fluid reservoir and it still drops to the floor when I press the brake pedal. A friend told me that I need to bench bleed the master cylinder. How do I do this?
 
Bench bleed is when before you hook up any brake lines you operate the plunger a few times (with fluid in it's reservoir) to prime it (get fluid inside and comes out the outlet). If you read the directions with the new one they say to do this. You can still do it on your car by disconnecting the brake lines and priming. You'll then have to bleed the whole system again when you connect the lines back up.
