Question How do I chagne brake fluid? - one person

I have Civic 2001 EX with 75,000 miles. (At 50,000 I changed front pads only.) Should I just use gravity one wheel at a time? I've read that flushing/suction with ABS could be harmful. And how much DOT3 or 4 should I buy? Thanks

Either a bleeder vacuum or using SpeedBleeders. Never heard of damaging ABS using a siphon, but makes sense.

Google for SpeedBleeders. They basically replace your stock bleeders. They won't let air into the lines when you remove pressure from the brake pedal. I've used them on my CBR. Work very well.
