Probably not the most scientific way, but I clamp it in the vise and fill the reservoir and push the piston in with a big phillips screwdriver and hold my finger over the outlet before I let the piston return and repaet the process until there is no air comimg out and then put a plug in the outlet and install it on the car. Has worked for me for over 50 yrs. Most modern replacement cylinders come with a short hose to put in fluid and you can stroke the piston back and forth until the air is all out.
