Minor nitpick: Letting the brake pedal hit the floor is a good way to damage the master cylinder. Over time, crud in the brake fluid can deposit in the MC bore, while the part of the bore that the seals travel is swept clean. Allowing the pedal to exceed normal travel will drag the seals over these deposits and often causes an internal leak. I usually use the toe of my boot under the pedal so as to keep the pedal from hitting the floor. A block of wood would also work.
