I have to remove ALL the brake fluid on my 20vt. Whats the best way to do it please? The fluid in the system(Castrol srf) is clean but has been through many extreme heat cycles,and gave me a few problems on track last Saturday evening.
Is it just a case of bleeding out the fluid as shown on the How to do or is there a more thorough/more full proof method?

Use ATE Super blue and you can see when the new stuff comes through.

Yes, I used a similar vacuum pump when changing the coupe brake fluid.
You can remove most of the fluid from the header tank first, then top it up with the new stuff and keep on topping up as you suck the old fluid through at each caliper nipple.
You should be able to see the fluid colour change quite easily in the clear tubing when the new stuff starts coming out at each caliper.
Remember there are 2 bleed nipples on each front caliper.
