New brake master cylinder?

[DocL]

I just received my new master cylinder and I have the shop manual. I don't expect this to be a difficult task as I've replaced a few in the past. There is one thing I didn't see mentioned in the shop manual that I thought I'd pick the brains of some well trained DIYers. Should I prime the new master cylinder prior to installing it? Will this make it easier to do a full system bleed, or is it just going to make the install messy?

Thanks a lot.

Do bench bleed the master cylinder. it prevents trapped air in the master cylinder.
