Here are the parts you will need

#1 10mm wrench
#2 Brake fluid (I used Amsoil DOT4, but my favorite is still the Castrol SRF)
#3 Motive Power Bleeder #0107 (Source: Amazon or Summit)
#4 Water to rinse the brake fluid off the car as you will get some on your car one way or another.

Optional but recommended
#1 A catch can to catch all old fluid along with a clear hose, I bought one for $10 that has 2 nipples and a rubber hose build in by Genesis Racing or something. You can use a 2L bottle if you want to save money.

Simply pour brake fluid into your motive bleeder, slip a 10mm onto each nipple along with a clear hose to catch old fluid. Once you are done, simply crack the bleeder at each caliper and you should be able to flush out your system within 15 minutes.
