Yup, bench bled the old master but it appears that even 1 day without fluid is enough to dry up or damage seals. I wish I had thought to just put in the bench bleed fittings instead of draining the whole system when I replaced the lines, but once I had the first line cracked open at the ABS unit it was a distant thought. I'm working from home again this morning for an hour or 2 before I swap out the master.
