I did this on my 40th after letting it run dry by accident (I use a pump connected to my compressor so I got distracted).

If the M/C runs dry vacuum bleeding them won't help at all,the M/C must be bench bled B/C of the angle it is at when it's on the car there for if you don't bench bleed it you will have a pocket of air in the very front of the M/C,that's why people bench bleed M/C before install.
