I sometimes I jam a screw driver under the gas pedal over the brake pedal and under the clutch pedal.
Or sometimes I use an ice scraper (piece of wood, etc.) jammed between the driver's seat and brake pedal.

Wow, thanks, I've been looking for the easy way to remove the calipers without making a mess or introducing air into the system. I would have thought any depression of the brake pedal would make the system drain even more profusely, in fact it's hard for me to see how this can be true. I want to do the job so if you have done this sucessfully I will have to try it, is there a particular "sweet spot" or just 2 inches?
