question about replacing master cylinder

It is necessary to bench bleed a master cylinder before installing a new one?

or can It just be installed, filled with fluid and then the whole brake system bled really good?

Also if the master cylinder does need to be bled, do a new one purchased from mercedes come with any type of kit to bleed it or what is the best way?

Best way to do this is remove old master cylinder replace with the new one ! before you replace it make sure there is no dirt in anything and if you ever have to wash something out use brake fluid! then tighten everything back then bleed the brakes but take your time with it do a very slow bleed .
