Fred,
Are you recommending filling and bleeding prior to installation? I have a
mityvac, so that would not be a problem, but what is the advantage to bench
bleeding?

Roger, fill it with fluid and bleed it out, install the unit and then adjust
the the bolt/nut inor out, usually out from it's old position, bleeding and
bench testing are very important rather than road testing (know what I me
mean) "FT"
