It's a cinch Prelude...you will start to look forward to it!

Another handy tip I learned recently from my brother is for changing fluid: the cup of tea method.

First flick the kettle on and while that is boiling do the following:
Nearly completely drain out the brake reservoir with a syringe or paper towel (or just let it drain out of the system via the bleed nipple) but leave enough in to cover the reservoir outlet DON'T drain it dry.
Then top up with fresh fluid.
Make a brew for yourself, tea and milk is OK...and a biscuit. (we can argue about which is the best biscuit later!)
Push a drain hose and catch pot onto the bleed nipple and crack it open...now just drink a cup of tea whilst it slowly drips through using gravity.
Keep topping up the reservoir until you have finished your cuppa, Typically 2 or 3 refills will do the rear, maybe 5 or 6 for the fronts.

That's it! Fresh oil in your stoppers without any drama.
