As above, im replacing my brakes with v6 items and braided hoses and want to change the fluid at the same time. Whats the best way to do it? I guessing i should empty the reservoir and fill with new fluid then bleed each wheels separately, but how would i go about emptying the reservoir?

Get a mate to do the pedal while you do the nipples, or use a eazybleed kit from halfrauds etc, or mityvac bleed kit there have been some posts about brakes lately and I know from experience that the v6 set up is a sod to get the pedal feeling good ,there will be sweat blood and tears, should have gone the turbo caliper way but they will work with lots of bleeding buy a couple of ltrs od dot4.

Eezibleed kit is the easiest way. Connect it up with no fluid in it, bleed all the old crap out the system, fill with new and bleed....
