You will have way better brakes! If you don't change the master, I'd just rip everything off and replace it, obviously be careful where brake fluid will drip. When its replaced open the rear wheel cylinder and see if it'll gravity bleed. It may take an hour for the master to go down an inch. Go inside or do something keep looking at the time if it is going down. If not you gotta pump it through. I never had any good luck with any speed bleeder or pumps. I even hooked an HVAC vacuum pump on one time and it did not pull through. Fresh brake fluid is killer, I buy it by the gallon and change it every 2-3 years.
