Master cylinder

What is your experience in swapping out the master cylinder? The old man has an 85 that needs to be changed. Any tricks I need to know about? I assume pretty straight forward.

Straightforward. Disconnect the brake lines, remove the nuts holding the master cyl to the booster, withdraw the master cyl. Replacing is the reverse except that you MUST bench bleed the new one before you fit it.
Probably will have to bleed brakes after fitting.
