Is there a guide to how to do this? Tried the search thing couldn't find anything. Basically I need to change the front brake fluid after I cooked it with my self locking brakes and I don't want to pay a dealer, so how do I do it and how easy is it to f uck it up?
Get yourself 1 of these -

And it will make the job 10 times easier

To just bleed fresh fluid through is a fairly simple process involving nothing more than an 8mm spanner, a pot to drain the old fluid into and some nice fresh fluid (either Dot 4 or 5.1 - NOT Dot 5!!!!)

Then have a watch of this vid as it explains it better than i can

Cool. Thanks, very helpful.
