Hi Bill and Ray,
I bench bleed new master cylinders and then after it is installed fill my master cylinder thru a long tube. Done it many times over the past 64 years on our 300C.

Subject: Re: {Chrysler 300} Master Cylinder Replacement
Hello Bill -
I believe the mechanic who replaced my own 300C master cylinder (and subsequently had to bleed the brakes, too) cussed at it a lot; not so much at the installation, but mostly at the difficulty of continually refilling the M/C with fresh fluid while bleeding the brakes - there is VERY little clearance between tho top of the M/C and the bottom of the booster assembly. He also suggested prefilling and bench-bleeding the new M/C before installation. We decided to use Castrol LMA Dot 3-4 brake fluid and were very careful not to spill any on painted surfaces during installation and bleeding.

Greetings! I am about to replace the master cylinder on my 57 300C. It looks a little tight between the inside attachment studs and the valve cover. Is there anything I might need to know regarding this replacement? Thanks in advance!
