Re: no brakes after lubing slides and pushing pistons back
To bench bleed any master cylinder you need adapter fittings first. Then run some preferrably clear tubing from the outputs back into the resevoir and pump the cylinder slowly until you don't see any more bubbles in it. Don't take the lines off until you are ready to reconnect the lines on the truck. The idea is to minimize the amount of air trapped in the lines between the master cylinder and the fluid that is already downstream of it. Also shut the truck off and put the key in your pocket. Bleed brakes without the vehicle on, ALWAYS. pedal will be stiff, so what. Anti-lock braking systems can interfere with bleeding, for that reason never bleed them with it on.
