yeah really easy

just bleed your brakes as you would when changing pads, but bleed out all the fluid, and refill it with new when you put it all back together

For replacing ALL the fluid you really need professional gear, since I'm a lazy $&#$% I just paid Pitstop to do it with their proper machines. Far far easier than doing manually.

I never have, i've always just used the new stuff to flush out and replace the old stuff. Helps if you buy fluid that is a different colour. No issues with air in the lines that way.

Sure it's no pitstop machine, but i'm sure it gives the same result :P

cool, might just flush it through with new fluid then, out of interest what did pit stop charge? and is there any brand that is better to use?
