What I did was to block the brake pedal down slightly (enough to close the
valve in the MC) before taking the switch out.  That helped keep the fluid
from running out while I was fumbling with the switch, and also seemed to
help keep air from getting in.

I did get a small amount of air in the system, but not enough to prevent
normal braking, just a bit of soft pedal.  And it worked it's way out over a
few days driving.

Of course I use DOT 5 which is supposed to give you terrible problems with
bleeding brakes, so YMMV <G>
