Its basic, basic little job.
#1) Remove the instrument cluster.
#2) Remove the fluid from your old master cylinder by bleeding it out of
a wheel bleeder or use your turkey baster and suck it out.
#3) Remove the line to your clutch master if if have standard tranny.
#4) Remove the two steel lines
#5) Remove the two 13mm nuts holding it onto the vacuume booster.
#6) Check the vacuume booster for fluids and using some alcohol and home
swabs clean out the booster chamber as best you can.
#7) Go back the same way.
#8) This is a good time to purge and clean the entire brake system, bleed
the brakes and clutch and you're done.
