Dont bother removing the master.  It really doesnt help bleeding it.  Tho bleeding a master cylinder does require 2 people.  When you crack the hard lines have someone press the peddle down slowly.   Bleeding the master isnt hard just make sure the guy whos pressing the peddle is very smooth.  Any little glitch pushing the peddle down will suck air fast.
Hope this makes some sense.  I am dead tired and heading off to bed.
