You can change brake fluid a number of ways. If you don't know how to bleed your brakes (just getting the old nasty fluid out), you can search for that on here or Google - already covered pretty well. Easiest w/ 2 people. If you can't have another person help you, there are DIY brake bleeding pumps as well as speed bleeders.

Way I usually do it:

1) Put car up on jack stands & remove wheels.

2) Siphon out most of the brake fluid from the bmc (there's lil $10 hand pumps you can get from the automotive store)

3) Refill part way with new fluid

4) Began brake bleed/flush using your favorite method.

5) bleed each caliper until good fluid comes out (while continuing to refill the cylinder as it starts to become empty)

And Done! Easy
