That's a good question. It's something I've done because I must have read it in some DIY somewhere, but now that you mention it, it does seem kind of unnecessary, doesn't it? OK, that's it then - no more removing fluid from the master cylinder before bleeding!

I do put the new fluid in the power bleeder to do the job, and then clean it with brake cleaner and wipe it dry afterwards.
