ok one more question and not to imply anything, but we have done it before. The bleeder is facing up not down correct?

Correct, it’s up.

Made that mistake once, 2 days of trying to get the brakes to bleed. Sometimes I do things the hard way.
Gravity bleed works well, then follow up with traditional bleed. If it doesn't pump up and get rid of air, you may have a bad master. Even if it's new.

He said when he clamps off the front calipers the pedal builds pressure. That would make me think the master may be ok
OK good, I missed that one. And yes, I've had calipers that don't leak fluid, but will suck air... not fun to chase down.

So I decided to replace master, hoses and calipers, they have lifetime warranty part store gave me ok to replace them.
Can anyone explain the procedure of installing after its bench bled?
Like do I leave fluid in with cover secured on and install on the car? That only makes sense as air can get back in to master, am I right?
Thanks for the help

I picked up a new master today and am bench bleeding right now, all air bubbles are gone from the tubes but I still get a couple of them from bottom holes in master? Is that normal or do I keep bleeding till they no longer come out of the holes on the bottom?

I answered my own question, all bubbles gone after a couple short purges. Now to put everything back together and see if it solves my issue.
