If you have a JY of parts car near, pull the lines off it, trim the lower ends off and use them to bench bleed it.

teflon tape it...

hold your thumb over the hold for the piston out stroke to prevent air from going back in. its ghetto, but it will work in a pinch. repeat as needed, you will need to watch the fluid shooting out to see if there is air in it.

Re: using JY lines..... what newer model Mopars would I look for that would have compatible lines?

Failing that, that's a good idea using teflon on the back bleed line retainer. I'll also give that a shot, and use the thumb as a check valve.. I'm also watching the back reservoir level to make sure this replacement doesn't have the same issue as the old one - or I'll be back to square 1 again...

Oh and good point about the brick- I had almost forgotten about that.

you can buy the flare nuts new and bend up your own lines.

also thexton makes a master kit for bench bleeding master cylinders. includes all flare nut sizes metric and standard. here is one i found off amazon, there is another kit that has the carry case and some other stuff.

either way its a straight forward process once you have the right equipement.
