Attach the C clamp to one of the pistons but don’t squeeze it. *Pump the lever on the bar slowly to push out the other piston almost all the way. *Put the C clamp on that piston and push out the other one.

Bumping this because I'm just attempting it.
I've gotten this far... (admittedly I didn't remove the cover on the master at first (bolts are stripped) and this is probably the source of my problems).
I had one piston almost all the way out, moved the clamp to the almost out one and the second one started coming out but at about 1/3rd of the way it stopped. Now the lever goes to the bar without any pushing power. Air in the lines.
So I put my new master cylinder on and removed the top, using the C clamp I pushed the 1/3rd out piston back in and watched air come up in to the master. The other piston I get about halfway back in to the caliper and then it fights me too hard. Still nothing in the brake lever.
Tried to loosen the bleeder screw and bleed it and nothing is coming out.
Any ideas? @
Motofool you're wise beyond your years... any experience here?
