That sounds like a technique to remove the master cylinder out the bottom
of the dash?  I haven't/wouldn't do that.

Take out the instrument cluster.  Put rags under the master cylinder.  Suck
as much brake fluid out of the reservoir as possible.  Do not remove the
reservoir.  unplug the wires from the sensors in the master
cylinder.  Loosen the brake lines slightly.  remove the 2 nuts that hold
the MC to the brake booster.  put rags under the brake line
connections.  disconnect brake lines, and be sure the rags are in place to
catch dripping brake fluid.  carefully remove MC and reservoir and those
last rags that are cuddled under the brake line connections.
