I do not remove the screen because sometimes you can break it when trying to get it out. Since I do not remove it I do not start by sucking the fluid out of the reservoir.

Instead I hook up an empty Motive, pump it up, and drain the reservoir down to the level sensor switch area by opening a RR bleed nipple. This is the same as sucking it out of the reservoir. Do not drain it so that it is empty or you can get air in the system.

Then remove the motive, fill it with fluid, hook it up, and bleed in the normal way. You start bleeding with the RR so that is why I drain the reservoir from the RR.
