To replace the brake master cylinder on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the brake fluid from the reservoir, then disconnect the brake lines and unbolt the master cylinder from the brake booster. Install the new master cylinder, reconnect the brake lines, refill the reservoir with brake fluid, and bleed the brakes to remove any air from the system before reconnecting the battery.
To install a master cylinder in a Lexus 400, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove any necessary components to access the master cylinder, such as the brake booster or air intake. Then, detach the brake lines from the old master cylinder, ensuring to catch any fluid in a container. Install the new master cylinder by aligning it with the mounting points, securing it with bolts, and reconnecting the brake lines. Finally, refill the brake fluid reservoir and bleed the brake system to remove any air.
The clutch gets its fluid from the master brake cylinder reservoir. The master clutch cylinder sits just below the master brake cylinder reservoir and is fed fluid by gravity.

The top of the master cylinder is filled with brake fluid (resevoir)
I assume you are talking about the brake master cylinder. MASTER CYLINDER REMOVAL (1) Disconnect primary and secondary brake tubes from master cylinder. Install plugs in the outlets of master cylinder. (Caution: Use a line wrench to avoid damage to line nuts) (2) Remove nuts that attach master cylinder to power brake unit. (3) Slide master cylinder straight out away from power brake unit. RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT Before disassembling the master cylinder clean outside of reservoir and master cylinder housing. (1) Remove reservoir caps and empty the brake fluid from reservoir. (2) Position master cylinder in a vise. Grasp reservoir and firmly rock from side to side to remove from master cylinder housing. (3) Remove and discard master cylinder housing to reservoir grommets. (4) Install new housing to reservoir grommets into master cylinder housing. (5) Lubricate reservoir mounting area with clean brake fluid. Place reservoir in position over grommets and using a rocking motion, seat reservoir properly onto master cylinder housing. CAUTION: Be sure that reservoir is positioned properly! All lettering should be properly read from the left side of the master cylinder. Be sure reservoir seats all the way down until the bottom of the reservoir touches the top of the grommet. BLEEDING MASTER CYLINDER Before installing the master cylinder on vehicle, it must be bled on the bench as follows: (1) Clamp master cylinder in a vise and attach bleeding tubes. (A kit can be purchased at any auto parts store). (2) Fill both reservoirs with approved brake fluid. (3) Using a brass rod or wood dowel depress push rod slowly and allow the pistons to return under pressure of springs. Do this several times until all air bubbles are expelled. (4) Remove bleeding tubes from cylinder, plug outlets to prevent spillage and install caps. (5) Remove from vise and install master cylinder on vehicle. INSTALLING MASTER CYLINDER (1) Position master cylinder over studs of power brake unit, aligning power brake push rod with master cylinder piston. (2) Install and tighten attaching nuts. (3) Connect front and rear brake tubes and tighten. (Do not over tighten) (4) Bleed brakes using normal procedure, being sure fluid level in master cylinder is maintained. Bleed in this sequence.

To remove a brake fluid reservoir from a brake master cylinder, first ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and the engine is off. Disconnect any electrical connectors and hoses attached to the reservoir. Then, remove the retaining clips or screws that secure the reservoir to the master cylinder. Carefully lift the reservoir straight up to detach it, taking care to avoid spilling any brake fluid.
The clutch master cylinder gets it's fluid from the master brake cylinder reservoir. The clutch is below the brake and gets it's fluid by gravity. If you need fluid just add to the brake reservoir.
The clutch master cylinder and the brake master cylinder are part of the same system . Both can be filled at the brake master cylinder using brake fluid
