  Hey Milton,
   The point is to pre bleed the master cylinder, don't put it all the 
way to the floor when final bleeding and be sure to set the free 
play.
  Most domestic rebuilds come with a "kit" of a piece of twin hose, 
a couple fittings and plugs that were in the ports when it was 
boxed.  You put the adapter fittings in a front and back port, plug 
the other two, and run the hoses from the fittings back into the 
reservoir.  Then pump until the bubbles are all gone.
