Brick Brethern

While putting on new rear calipers ....being a newbie and first timer....I forgot to snug up the bleeder valve when I was doing the other side with the peddle blocked down. Need less to say fluid poured out and mc level went real low.

It's a new MC and it was a Bitc* to bench bleed the first time since brake lines didn't thread on well and fluid was pouring out all over the place.

Can I bench bleed without fully disconnecting the brake lines to the MC ?

Have I screwed up the seals in the new master by repeatdly pumping brake to attenmpt to bleed system?

Doesn't look like any more air bibbles coming out of calipers but peddle very spongy and goes long way close to floor.
