Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. Here are a few tutorials for you to view on how to replace a brake master cylinder and how to bleed the system after the repair has been made:

Since you are installing a new brake master cylinder it would be best to bench bleed the unit before installation to remove air from the new unit prior to installation on the vehicle. Here is a YouTube tutorial from our site showing how to do so:
