I've just completed a major overhaul on my brake system, including replacing some lines with SS and replacing a broken hard line. So, my entire system was pretty much drained of fluid. Is it necessary to bleed my master cylinder seperately from bleeding my brakes, or, since there's no fluid in there at all anyways, can I just fill the MC up and have it bleed itself while I do the rest of the brakes? This is on a '95 with no bleeder valves on the MC, so I would have to disconnect those loopy lines and run some hose from the end back into the MC according to my Chiltons.

you'll have to bleed the mc. bleed it with those lines just like the valves on the brakes.

My MC doesn't have bleeder valves. That didn't start until '96 I think.

you just crack open the lines/bolts that goes into the MC as if it were a valve
