Bench bleeding help

OllieDemon45 said

Once i have the Master cylinder bench bled.. do i put the pushrod back on since the the rubber hose and bracket get mounted on the master cylinder too. Than attach the brake lines.
Hoping this doesn't take too long and get air back in the master cylinder.
I have the stock push rod and also bought a new gasket/seal for it from Dr. Diff.

I always bench bleed master cylinders in my vice and tap the MC with a small hammer to help dislodge any small air bubbles. A large phillips head screw driver works well to fully depress the plunger too. I also tip the MC nose down a few times to help displace the air. If I come back to it about an hour after bench bleeding it, I always seem to get a few more bubbles out of it.
