Take the old fluid out of the MC reservoir with something like a turkey baster. Put in fresh fluid, then bleed at least a couple hundred ml from each corner. All you're doing is getting rid of the old & putting new fluid in the whole system. Keep bleeding until the fluid coming out is nice & clean.
well...i "somewhat" know how to bleed brakes. I've never seen it done or done it myself BUT i've read alot about it. I know i need two people to do it or a bleeder tool. I need a small rubber hose for convience to fit around the bleeder valve on each wheel or i can just let it drip into a jar or what have you. I know the basics, but it seems like it'll take a really really long time to do it. Has anyone here totally flushed their brake system using the "standard" method without a bleeder? If so, please let me know the approx time for "first timers" and tools and expectations i should..well..expect

Thanx!
