Best and safest way is to drain the system from the bleed nipples at the
brake callipers/cylinders. Fill up the reservoir to the max with fresh
brake fluid, then use a vacuum pump to drain the fluid beginning with
the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder. Be very careful to top
up the master cylinder during the process, you do not want to get air in
the system. Drain until the clear and clean brake fluid brake fluid
starts showing in the tube connecting the vacuum hand pump and bleed
nipple and tighten the nipple.
Another method is using an Easybleed set. This is a pressure reservoir
that screws on to the brake fluid reservoir. Fill up the reservoir with
clean fluid according to the instructions and pressurise the reservoir
slightly. Then open up the bleed nipples one by one until clean and
clear brake fluid appears. Be very careful though not to overfill or
over-pressurise as. This will cause spilling/spreading brake fluid. Not
good for your paint
