  2. Place a container or shop rag under the master cylinder to catch fluid.
  3. Depress the brake pedal and have an assistant cover the fluid ports with fingers.

  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 a few time to remove air pockets from the master cylinder.
  6. Connect the fluid lines to the master cylinder.
