Master Cylinder Replacement DIY?

Does anyone know of or have any DIY instructions for replacement of the master cylinder in a 2001 TL? I have searched this site but I haven't had any luck.

its 2 bolts at the master cyl and 2 lines going into it
prefill and prebleed as much air out as possible
try internet seach or autozone or kragens for online diy

I didn't check those azine sections specifically, but I did do a search in the Second Generation forums. I also went to a local library last night and made some copies of the DIY instructions from the Haynes manual for this vehicle. Thank you for the help!

Its very easy. LIke said above. suck as much brake fluid out as possible, remove the 2 lines and place a towel under ot help catch the fluid dripping, remove the 2 bolts that hold it on. Then bench bleed the new one. reverse for install. Bleed brakes VERY good after. Bleed order as follows. LF, RF, RR, LR

I've done a lot of work on my own vehicles, but brake bleeding is one thing that I have not done. What is bench bleeding?
