You can buy a kit for $30.

Or you can get a syringe from the cooking section of Walmart.

First thing I do is blow out the bad juice as normal, down. Filling the reservoir as needed.

When the fluid coming out is clean, then I reverse the process. I suck out the fluid in the reservoir using a (um, turkey baster). Then I safety wire a flexy tube on the syringe and place the tube on the nipple. The real flexible silicone tubing is best. I fill the syringe with DOT4 fluid, attach it to the nipple, and pump it up the system. You'll possibly see that there might be a lot of micro bubbles that regular bleeding will miss. Do that until the bubbles stop. Button everything up and test the system.

BTW, I did 40 miles of some really rocky hill climbs (shallow, but long). I noticed the clutch slipping (was it getting hot?) in the middle of long climbs. I'll take it apart tomorrow to see if everything is all right.
