91 Honda Accord without ABS


I replaced the master cylinder in my accord. I bled the brakes with a friend. He would push on the brakes and then I would open the bleeder screw. Before he released pressure, I would tighten the screw back up. I think I'm doing the bleeding part right. I didn't see anymore air bubbles coming out of any lines, but my brake pedal is worse than when I started. I think I have air in the master cylinder still. They gave me two plastic threaded nuts and two hoses to bench bleed it. I stripped one of the plastic nuts, so I think I didn't get all the air out of the master cylinder. I'm guessing no matter how much bleeding one does you still can't get the air out of the master cylinder if you didn't bench bleed the master cylinder correctly. I already threw away those plastic nuts. Is there a way to bleed the master cylinder installed in the vehicle without those nuts? Or, where can I buy just those bench bleeding accessories?
