Sorry but i'v never done this before so please bear with me.

I need to replace the master cylinder on my '86 and not sure exactly how to do it. I think I unscrew the two brake lines and then the two nuts holding it to the booster. then when i put the new one up can i just fill it up with fluid until it drips out of the holes where the lines go so i know theres no air in it, then bolt it back up and bleed the brakes? Please tell me if I'm on the right track or if there is something special I need to do.

Thank you,
Jeremy
