I think it's easier and quicker to mount and bleed and skip the bench bleeding step. I use an old baking pan underneath the master cylinder to catch any brake fluid and to keep the mess to a minimum. After bleeding the air out of the master cylinder I attach both lines. Then crack one open slightly and use the line as a bleeder. Then do the same with the other line. Most times the system is then fully bled and I don't even need to bleed again at the wheel cylinders. The last master cylinder change I did on an early Dakota took no more than 15 minutes using this method. Pedal is hard as a rock.
You don't use a vise ?? That just sounds like hypocrisy to me.
Actually, I never understood why someone would want to bleed their master cyl in a vise on a bench and then take that leaky dripping thing over to the car and try to bolt it on, all while trying to prevent brake fluid from getting on the paint. I was always too lazy to do it the hard way too, so I always mounted mine on the car and went ahead and bled it the way you described above. On cars that have a master that is tilted, I just jacked the rear of the car up. Being lazy can contribute to working smarter instead of harder I always say.
