use the MOTIVE pressure bleeder. its a piece of cake. fill up the canister with fluid, hook it up to the master cylinder and pump to 20lbs of pressure. bleed from the farthest corner and work to the closest corner. stop after each corner to make sure you have enough fluid in the canister and pump back up to 20lbs of pressure as neccessary.

the fluid starts out almost clear yellowish when new. brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it sucks moisture out of the air like a sponge. when moisture is in brake fluid, it lowers its heat resistance and fades at much lower tempuratures and eventually fails. brake fluid must be replaced at least every 2 years. the darker it is, the more moisture it has absorbed...
