Replacing brake line

[Bruce B.]

I'm in the process of replacing the master cylinder on my 62 and the brake line from the master cylinder to the first block is also being replaced.
Are there any tricks to minimizing having to bleed the whole system. I will bench bleed the master cylinder but is there anything that can be done to pre-fill the brake line.
No big deal to bleed the whole system but looking for an easy way out.

Replacing brake line

Bruce,
I really believe bleeding the whole system IS the "easy way out." Trying to do it piece meal could be a mess. I agree with the bench bleed on the M/C, and then just go from there. Watch carefully for leaks at joints as you go. Best of luck, Dennis

Dennis,
Thanks for your input.
I should realize by now that there are no shortcuts.
