How to bleed the Brake Master Cylinder?

There is a bolt on the side of the MC that locates the piston correctly inside the MC (piston stopper bolt). It is not a bleed screw as often thought.

Therefore, even if you rebuilt it properly but then tried to 'bleed' it, you can stuff up the positioning of the pistons.

To reset it, you need to loosen the bolt, push the pistons all the way in then tighten the bolt.

I am sure the strong spring goes in first, with the piston barrel with the long nose.
