After you replace a brake master cylinder and bench bleed it do you still need to bleed the entire system?

YES!!! It is very important to ALWAYS bleed the entire brake system anytime ANY component is removed because air will be allowed into the system. Air in the system will cause poor brake performance and or failure. Start bleeding at the wheel farther-est away from the master cylinder and work toward the master cylinder. Usually in this order...RIGHT REAR/LEFT REAR/RIGHT FRONT/LEFT FRONT.
Do not worry if no air comes out from some of the bleed screws but be sure to bleed each wheel until fresh fluid flows out. Keep a constant check on the fluid level in the master cylinder while bleeding the lines. DO NOT LET THE MASTER CYLINDER RUN OUT OF FLUID!!!! If the master cylinder runs out of fluid it will allow more air into the system and you will have to start all over. Follow these guidelines and you should have SAFE Brakes with a good pedal feel.
One other note: Most Brake Fluid will damage Automotive Paint. Have a bucket of soapy water nearby and if the Paint is touched with Brake Fluid from your fingertips or any other other source stop work,wipe off the Fluid, and wash the area with soap water. It only takes a minute or so for Brake Fluid to damage paint.

How do you know if the master cylinder has gone bad in a 1997 Chevy Corvette?
One sign is if you place you foot on the brake pedal and apply steady pressure, and the pedal slowing goes down toward the floor, the master cylinder is bad. As this car is 9 years old, when replacing the master cylinder, replace all the brake fluid in the entire system with fresh fluid from an unopened can. 1. It could have a leak at the master cylender. 2. the brake peddle slowly goes all the way to the floor.
