[DML] Master cylinder bleeding (was front brakes not working)

["basfe25" <dmcman73@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One more question.....

Every time I've bled a new master cylinder it was always on the car
(found it easier) and the car was always on level ground. While
bleeding the master cylinder on the D, it is mounted in the car (as I
usually do) BUT it is not on level ground. The D is in a sloped
driveway where the nose of the car is higher then the rear. I am
thinking (I could be wrong that's why I am asking) that maybe there is
still air in the MC because of this slope? In other words, the air
bubbles (if any) are not near the ports of the MC but are actually at
the very front of it? I hope I am making sense the way I am describing
it.......

For sanity sake, I think I am just going to pull the MC out of the D,
put it in my bench vice leveled off and bench bleed it that way with
two plastic hoses running from the ports and into the MC again. I've
always hated bleeding the MC this way always fearing that I am going
to slip with the screw driver while pushing in the piston and messing
something up.
