That's my biggest concern, especially doing this for the first time and the fact that the car only has 8500 miles on it...I'm not sure that I'll know when the "color comes out clear" if it's clear to begin with!

Is it possible to pump all the old fluid out without refilling the reservoir between pumps, then puttingi n the new fluid? If you pour new fluid into the reservoir iwth the old fluid, they'll mix, requiring you to use more fluid to completely flush the break lines. Any thoughts?

I plan to repaint my calipers soon so I will be taking them completely off the car. is it okay if all of my brake fluid drains out while I am painting them? Will letting all the fluid drain out, damage the brake/clutch fluid system?

Thanks for the website it's great help! I do still have a few questions though, since my car is equipped with abs how will i totally flush the fluid out of the unit itself? Also someone above stated that the engine has to be on while you bleed the an abs equipped evo?
