for the master cyl... take the two brake lines off and then then the two nuts that hold the master cyl and that's it... for the brake booster, it's held on by four nuts

i would do the mc first. brake boosters are crazy expensive and the mc is the usual culprit.

a sinking pedal usually indicates a bad seal in the MC

Buy a FLARED wrench for the brake lines! 12mm. Or else there's a good change you'll strip the heads, then you'll really be screwed

remember, don't change you booster first, change the master... and if that fails then the booster but I highly doubt it's the booster that's messed up
