One top tip I found on the internets is to bench bleed the MC when fitting an empty one. You put it in a vice, attach short pieces of brake tubing into the outlets, and loop the ends back into the reservoir. Fill it with fluid and pump until all the air is out. It takes some pumping interspersed with some time to let it sit to displace all the air in the cylinder. Then you install the cylinder with all the fluid in it and hopefully have a much simpler job when bleeding the whole system.
