Ok I have a question on how to use this I searched on how to but im still a little confused because some people say that you have to bench bleed it and others say you do now will I already put my master cylinder in the car already and did not bench bleed it. So my questions is how is this gonna push fluid down into the new master? Any help will be great thanks.

New fluid gets sucked from the fluid resevoir as you decrease the vacuum inside the system. Naturally this means that the resevoir has to be topped off during the process, otherwise you're going to be starting over.

Do not apply excessive pressure as it's thought to ruin or invert seals.

Thanks for the tip. I used it last night and got it to work and the pedal is good now. I didn't go any higher that 15 on the mityvac. Now I have to put new pinon seal put the drive shaft in and i can take a test drive. Lets hope all is good lol.

Get a Speed Bleeder..open it up and have someone pump the Pedal as you fill the Resevior..keep that full and wait till a steady stream of fluid comes out of the Bleeder, give it a couple more good pumps of the Pedal after that.

Close the Bleeder and pump the Pedal up..you are done.
Takes about 2 minutes..it's how I do mine.
