How do you bleed a Master Cylinder?

So I've never done this before. My research shows a bunch of different ways to bleed a Master Cylinder. on the bench, on the Jeep, using bleeder tubes or just using plugs and loosen them like a bleeder screw.

Does this method look right?

That looked like it worked, he even struggled to attach the lines and got fluid everywhere, just like real world lol
 
I made short brake lines that routed fluid back to the reservoir and held the master cylinder in the vice. Then just pumped it over and over until there was no more air.

Awesome, thanks for the X3! The BMB instructions are very good. They recommend a bench bleed.

They also highlight the need to adjust the rod on the booster.

I printed this handy dandy tool so hopefully I get it right.
