Getting the brake reservoir screen out

[san rensho]

Dont try to suck the old fluid out of the reservoir.. Just use the power bleeder and pump the old fluid out of the reservoir. watch the resrvoir until its almost empty, then add brake fluid and bleed.

Just saw your reply, san. Makes great sense and I think I'll try that.

Agreed. Excellent suggestion. I'll just add that if you don't plan on bleeding the clutch, be careful how low you let the master cylinder go. The outlet for the clutch is on the side, not the bottom like the brake line.

I don't honestly see the point in doing the brake lines and not the clutch, as they're in a common system. All part of the job, to me.
