The job is easy, but working around all teh cables and hoses is a pain in the ass.
1. remove 2 10 mm brake hose fittings
2. remove 2 12 mm nuts and spring washers
3. remove master cylinder
4. bench bleed new cylinder according to included instructions
5. reassemble in opposite order

Be sure that you have the seal for the booster either in the booster or transferred from the old cylinder to the new one. I removed that bracket that holds all the cables and hoses nearby and it helped quite a bit. You may want to get the special wrench designed for the brake hose fittings. It surrounds almost the whole nut to it's harder to strip the soft metal.
