Best way to remove brake fluid?
When changing the master cylinder whats the best way to remove the fluid from the reservoir? also i've read that you need some silicon/sealer between the mating faces, the new one didnt come with any so what stuff do i need?

open up a bleed nipple n pump till no more fluid comes out...
ths will clear out 90% of the fluid. so when you now remove your brake line from the master cyl only a little bit will dribble out
then remove master cyl (keep rag around the thing, dont want any spillages!) refit, do up the lines, refill... bleed brakes, n jobs a goodun
did mine by myself using 1man bleeding tool n job took approx 1hr start to finish using shit tools...
the cyl change itself took about 5-10mins

use any mate, youre just clearing out the resevoir, not the lines themselves.
i used the one closest to the thing, but cant rememebr if i did this just coz it was easiest, or coz haynes told me too
