How do I know if I have to bench bleed my master cylinder or not?
Ugcsred2011
If it is a brand new master cylinder, it needs to be bench bled. If it was removed from the vehicle, it needs to be bench bled. If the brake lines were disconnected from it and there was a lot of fluid loss, it needs to be bench bled. If the reservoir was empty or very low and sucked air when the brakes were applied, it needs to be bench bled. If in doubt, bench bleed it. It's one of your vehicle's most important safety features, don't risk your safety, or the safety of others, for the sake of saving a few minutes of time or doing a little less work.

How do I bleed a 95 Chevy clutch master cylinder?
Need to know how to assemble 95 Chevy clutch master cylinder?
Why did my brake pedal on my 1999 grand am go right to the floor and when I changed the master cylinder it bled the whole system and I have no leaks what should I do?
Get someone to help you and bleed the brakes again. You should have bench bled the master cylinder before installing. Start at the right rear, then go to the left rear, right front, and end at the left front brake. Bleed each caliber until you see no more air escaping. If you do not know how to bleed your brakes a Google search will give you instructions. If you do it right, assuming the Master Cylinder is good, you will have good brakes. I have seen rebuilt master cylinders that were defective out of the box. If you bought a rebuilt master cylinder, I would recommend you return it and get a new master cylinder. Rebuilt products today are not rebuilt in the U.S. and it is common for them to be defective. Buy new!
