if there is no brake fluid in the master cyl you will need to bleed the brake again. you will have to bleed them a lot!!!!!also don't pump the brakes when you do this. open bleeder press brake & hold. close bleeder, then release brake. pumping is not good. say you have 1 big air pocit. you pump now you have a bunch of little pocits. know you have to do double the work. it's easyer to get rid of 1 then get rid of hundreds. you will have to bleed alot because of the master cyl was dry.
