Master cylinder failing, w/ABS

Yet another brake thread. So I'm in the process of putting my XJ back into service (Durabak interior, replacing hoses, rebuilt the NSS, etc) and last on my list next to putting in a new electric secondary fan are my dodgy brakes.

Typical failing master cylinder symptoms, no external leaks, I've narrowed it down to that. Slow loss of pedal pressure, brake light comes on, all that fun stuff.

Anyway, to replace, can I just pull it all apart and rebleed my brakes like a normal system or do I have to do something special because of the ABS? Yeah I did a search, but the answer eluded me. thx
 
btw: The part is ~$50 at Kragen but out of curiosity I called around to see what kind of quotes shops wanted. Wheel works wanted ~$300 + tax and the part and Midas wanted ~$500 otd. Crazy.
