Brake Reservoir replacement

Anything dangerous / tricky / if you do it wrong your F'd about changing out the master cylinder reservoir?

i know bench bleed is required if you let master cylinder run dry, I just want to make sure no risks with just changing out the reservoir.

Anyone done it yet, was it easy?

Anyone know of an aftermarket one that has a screw cap instead of this three tab BS?

The reason i'm asking is I'm trying to go through the pains of getting my 1LE track ready so I can actually use it for what it's meant for. I purchased the Motive brake bleeder and am having a seriously miserable time trying to get the f'ing thing to seal, I've tried about 30 times now, and even after talking to Motive owner.

I suppose I could go the dry method, but then I run the risk (whatever that is, maybe it's not a big deal?) of running the master cylinder dry.

Anyway, what a pain in the a$$. Maybe I can just take it to the local brake shop and have them do it, but i'd like to do it myself.

I really wanted to take it out to the track, I've:
purchased a helmet
new supercar 3 rubber
replaced oil with the new and very expensive ESP 0W-40
Purchased Motul 600
Stuck on brake bleed
