Ideas on removing brake fluid from race car…

Hi MJ!
You know so dang gone many people, someone will have a pressure bleeder. Doesn't have to be a nice one, just one that works. There ain't much to them. Getting the cap to seal to the top of the master cylinder could be maybe a little bit of a challenge as there seems to be a ton of different lids but most bleeders have some type of universal. Simply put a little pressure in the tank, doesn't take much, and go to your right rear bleeder port on the car, crack it open until it bleeds clean fluid. Then go to left rear, right front, and lastly left front. That's it. It might take a couple pumps of the pedal to get all your stroke back. I used to always spray a little Kroil Penetrating solvent on all the bleeders the day before I started.
They sell "pistol" types, but for a total fluid replacement I would try to find a tank bleeder.
