I replaced my master cylinder Sunday (yesterday) so it's all fresh in my mind. If you have another person help you, bench bleeding was a breeze and only took about 5 minutes. Have someone cover both holes on the cylinder, press in the plunger on the back with a screwdriver, then bleed the front connector first. Remember to recover the hole before releasing the plunger. After you are satisfied that it is bled, do the rear in the same way. I took more time in pulling the access panel than I ended up spending replacing the master cylinder and bleeding the brakes. Feel free to email me wayofcain(at)aol.com if you want exact directions.
