James in order to bleed your master cylinder, you have to do what is called
a bench bleed, This is a very annoying (but not too difficult) operation.
You must mount your MC in a vise on a bench (hence the name) with it being
level. you typically would get a bleeder kit and run a hose from the
line/lines coming out of the MC back into the reservoire. After you have
adequately bled the MC then you simply (causing as small a mess as
possible) install it on your car. This is what everything I have ever read
and/or heard says to do. As for your other questions someone smarter than
I must tackle those for you.
