For about $4, you can get a tool to pinch off the supply hose to the master
cylinder, so you don't drain the whole reservoir--just an inch or so.  It
has curved jaws so as not to crack the hose if it's a bit brittle.  Also,
brake fluid eats paint, so put down towels/rags/etc. to avoid it getting to
your floor.
