Make sure you remove the rubber seal from the end of the cylinder. That 
is the end waayy down inside. Not all cylinders have the seal set up 
this way, but if it does it needs to come out so the new parts fit right.

I like to bench bleed the master (should be instructions in the kit...) 
But others here never do it, just bleed the system as per shop manual 
and the master will be bled.

 I also would suggest silicone fluid since you are doing a whole 
rebuild. But others here will warn of impending doom. I have used 
silicone in MANY systems since 1980, some of which are still holding 
fluid to this day with no further work.
