Any way to bleed brake hydraulic lines through the master cylinder.

What is your question?

Need to bleed brake lines through the master cylinder if that's possible. Vechicle had no brake line leaks just need to put new master cylinder in. Suspect the bleed screws on the calipers are rust frozen in so bad loosening them will probably near impossible. Will the hydraulic lines bleed the little bit of air upward themselves through the master cylinder after I install it?

I believe by replacing master cylinder, and with some brake fluid added it should "burp " the air out that way. I had replaced one years ago on a GM vehicle, and was faily straight forward. If I recall, replace, fill with brake fluid, and pump brakes (maybe with cap slightly open?) to allow air out.

That's the way I was going to try after I "bench bleed the new master cylinder" wasn't sure if it would 'burp' out of not. Thanks!
