Someone has already told you how to remove the master cylinder, one thing people don't always do is bench bleed the cylinder before installing to remove the air.

Secure it in a bench vise run lines from the port to the reservoir and fill with fluid, start pumping the pedal until the air is out. When you go to bleeding the brakes start at the farthest cylinder from the master cylinder. I would suggest using Dot 3 brake fluid.
