the best way to do it is to get one of the brake bleeder pumps from autozone, pep boys, etc.

Stick the tube over the bleeder valve, open the valve a bit and then suck the fluid out. Fill 'er up and drain it out again.... it can get pretty messy pumpin the pedal like that!

Turkey baster.

Refill the reseviour, and bleed out whatever remains of the old fluid. When the fluid runs clear, you're done.
