Just remember to empty the old fluid from the reservoir with a turkey baster before pouring in the new fluid, keep the reservoir full at all times, start with the right rear, move to the left rear, then right front and finally left front. Turn the engine on if/when doing the two person method. It helps to tap the calipers with a rubber mallet when using the pressure bleeder to help the air escape the calipers.
Thanks. So you are saying I have to suck out oil from reservoir and then pump it out with pedal to make system absolutely empty full of air. Refill it with new fluid and bleed it? What about clutch line?
