if you had to fill the reservoir. May have gotten air in the mc.
Go ahead and try bleeding all four slaves but if that doesn't work, you'll have to benchbleed the master.
you shouldn't have to take the mc off the car yet...just unscrew the lines to the mac (two I believe,) put your fingers over the holes and work the brake pedal...make sure there's fluid in the reservoir!!!
When you get the mc bled, you won't be able to stop leakage from around your fingers...hold one finger over one hole and quickly reinsert and finger tighten the other fitting.
Then remove your finger and do the other one. tighen the fittings/lines to the master cylinder and then bleed the four slaves.
this can be done by one person...I had to replace a master cylinder a couple of times. with the door to the driver's side open you should be able to cover the two holes and work the brake with your right foot/leg while standing on the ground with left leg.
