You usually get instructions with the master cilinder.
New MBC kits often come with plastic fittings and some small bits of hose.
You basically clamp the master cilinder in a vise and run the outlet tubes back to the reservoir. Fill up the reservoir and carefully pump the cilinder till there are no more air bubbles coming out.
I dont think this is necessary if you can get it pressure-bled (most dealerships use pressure-feed devices, I can tell you they work miracles!).

If your going to hand-bleed or use one of those easy-bleed devices or pull-through systems, then I would definately bench bleed it properly.
The beauty of those pressure systems is that you can open the bleed valve and just patiently watch the stream of brake fluid come out. I have done this to my volvo, and there where pockets of air that would only come out after a long time. You wouldn't expect any more air to come out after you get a lot of clear fluid if you where bleeding by hand.

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
