WHen you bench bleed the MC, all you are doing is removing the air from it before installing it in the car. Fill it with fluid, run two hoses from the output up and back into the resivour so they are under the fluid. Now pump it until there are no air bubbles coming out of the output lines. Once the air is out, it is bled and can be installed.

Let me know if you have other questions or concerns. NOTE: When bench bleading, you won't notice any difference in pressure becuase the it really is doing nothing but transfering fluid to nowhere.
