Default BB/MC Replacement help

I am replacing my brake booster and master cylinder on my hatch and need to kno if anything special is going to be needed. I.e. - tools, gaskets, etc. I'm scraping both from my car and have a matching setup from a sedan if that matters.

Sorry if its a stupid quesion but I've never done them before and don't wanna mess anything up.

Thanks guys!

You will need to bleed brakes, get a 10mm (IIRC) flare nut wrench, and maybe that gasket behind the MC that goes into the BB. Make sure you bleed correctly, if you have a friend it will be easier to bleed unless you got some special tools.

Invest in a powerbleeder if you have an air compressor or a vacuum bleeder if you don't. It will make things much easier. If your lines have any rust hit them with pb blaster prior to doing the work.
