Buy a turkey baster and suck the fluid out of the reservoir.. Be careful that you don't drop
any fluid on a painted surface, it will take the paint off.. Drive it for a while and do it again, you'll end up replacing all the fluid after a couple of times..

PS, complete your profile so we know something about you and can get to know you better...

Mine was in pretty bad shape (dark). It took at least half a dozen changes before it cleaned up. However, it's really easy to do it this way.
