IE - You can R & R the brake M/C or a caliper without having to open any bleed valves or re-bleed the whole system.

The other day a project 240D I'm working on needed a BRAKE master cylinder so I pulled one from one of my parts cars, installed it, then needed my shop for something else and pulled out the project car and the brakes feel fine.  , without bleeding.
i'll try it with a clutch slave next time but I still think its a good idea to know (and have the right tools on hand) how to bleed the system with the brake slave should you do more than a clutch slave.
