This is not Volvo Specific, just my knowledge of having done some MC replacing.

If you bench bleed the MC, chances are very good you will not have to bleed at the Calipers.

When you disconnect the Lines from the MC, there is fluid right at the very ends of the lines.

If the MC is blead,there is Fluid right at the Connecting Threads. Basically there is no air to get into the system.

Bench Bleed on the car. Install the MC, bleed it with the small hoses and fittings that usually comes with new or rebuilt MC's. When you feel the MC is blead, hold your foot on the Brake pedal (have someone do it) so no fluid drains out while you thread the Brake lines back on.

You can loosen the MC from the Booster for this so you get a little movement i the MC to make the connection of the Brake lines easier.
