Thanks. Great idea

I tried this and I managed to push all the old fluid out of the MC and lines to the remote resevoir. I would think that at this point there MC is filled with new fluid

Much to my dissapointment still can't build any pressure with MC

I disconnected downstream connector before HTO and only got a dribble of new fluid. Tried vaccum bleeding at that point and was unable to suck anything

Hillbank suggested replacing master cylinder but its a ***** to get at on my Superformance

They are not as bad as they seem, I have done mine 5 times. Take off the tire and remove the inspection plate in the wheel well. It's about an 1-2 hour job. The worst part for was squeezing my lard but under the dash and disconnecting cotter pin in the clutch pedal. On a side note pull off the stearing wheel it will make it much easier.
