Bleeding the master cylinder.
 
I will be installing line lock and will have the master cylinder off the car. Once everything is installed, do you bleed the master then do the brakes or brakes then bleed the master ?

Whats the procedure on bleeding the master ?

Try to bleed the master cylinder first(bench bleed or on car). Then bleed the RR,LR,RF, and LF in that order. Should be good.

+1 .. I always used the same procedure. Bleed the master, then start with the farthest caliper from the master which is the rear passenger side. then do driverside rear , Passengerside front, then driver front. And repeat the process until it felt good.

I also would make a pass on my mightyvac first to get any serious air pockets out but isnt needed.

Yea the general bleeding is no biggie it's the master that got me having the ports on it. Bleed the port closest to the rear first? Or crack them both?

Bleed the rear port first, then the front.

If you dont have a mightvac, take a water bottle and cut it in half and use it to catch the fluid. It makes a mess!

Alright, so bled the rear first then front in the same way you would bleed a caliper. Then do the normal deal on the brakes
