I know a lot of folks use a pressure bleeder for changing/bleeding brake fluid. At its best, its a quick and easy method of bleeding the brakes.
However, I don't feel comfortable with pressurized brake fluid near painted surfaces. Someone on this forum recently shared that the (pressurized) bleeder hose came adrift from the reservoir which managed to spray the Porsche paint with a gush of expensive paint remover. I hope he saved it in time with a timely spray of water. His fault or not, it's still a possibility. Those who live life on the edge may disregard my wimpish warnings of impending paint doom.
I vote for the turkey baster for these reasons:
1) Most folks already have one in the kitchen. Single-use kitchen utensils are passe (ask me how I use a can opener on my 911).
2) Another place I wouldn't want brake fluid (even DOT4) is in my mouth (see prior post).
You need a 3' length of nylon hose from the local hardware store. Buy the one that fits snugly over the bleeder screw. After taking out most, but not all of the fluid from the reservoir (you don't want to introduce air in the system do you?), fill w/fresh fluid, then loosen the bleeder screw with the tube attached. Stick the end of the tube into that empty water bottle you were thinking of using to suck fluid out of the reservoir. Gravity (there's a word pressure-bleeding proponents disdain), will push the old fluid out. When the fluid looks clear (or less murky), close the bleeder valve. Repeat three more times and you're done with a minimum loss of sometimes expensive fluid.
You're welcome,
