Default How to replace Brake Master Cylinder?

Hi,

How do you actually replace the brake master cylinder? Do I have to drain all the calipers or can I just drain the fluid in the master cylinder? If I do that latter will there be alot of fluid spillage?

Thanks

Unbolt the master cylinder.
Bench bleed MC
Install MC
Bleed the brakes in the correct order.
Top off MC
Done

Its not very difficult. Can be alittle messy though make sure you have plenty of rags
