Henry, sorry to leave you hanging. WHen you completely flush the system, it is just like a bleed job, with one exception. You remove ALL the fluid from the reservoir. Use a syringe or turkey baster to suck all the fluid out and replace with fresh Dot 3 or 4. Then, bleed each line as usual until you get clear fluid, being sure to keep a close eye on the reservoir level.
On a normal bleed job, you don't worry about emptying the reservoir to get rid of contaminated fluid. If your fluid is brown, it's definitely contaminated.
