When you remove the lines from the master cyl, you can use vacumn caps to keep the fluid from leakin out of the lines. Be sure to bench bleed the master before you install it, & you will take care of most of the air that will be in the system. When you bleed the brakes, you can crack the rear bleeders, & let them gravity bleed 1st to get most of the air out(just be sure to keep the master full). when you dont notice any more air bubbles, tighten the bleeders, & go back in to powerbleed the system. Start @ the cyl farthest away from the master(you knew that Im sure). Dont let the master get empty.......that is where the biggest problems in bleeding come from. Best of luck,
