3. Using a wooden dowel as a pushrod, press the pistons inward slowly, then allow them to return to the released position. Repeat this several times until all air bubbles are expelled out of the tubes.
4. Remove the bleeding tubes from the master cylinder and plug the outlet ports.
5. Install the fill cap on the reservoir.
