Not sure what Tim does but on the old cars I've been using a turkey baster to suction out the fluid in the master and just refill it every year. On the daily's I take to Brad and have him flush every 4-5 years.

I'll suck the fluid out of the master reservoir, replace it with fresh fluid, and then just do a gravity bleed. It's about a 3 beer event
