with a powerbleeder from ZIP products it's a easy one man/woman job, a turkey baster will help you on the way too, just suck out the brake res add new fluid FOLLOW the directions that come with the bleeder MAKE SURE the caps on right and you really don't need all that much PSI in the bleeder you can always give it a couple more pumps when needed, so don't go crazy pumping it up!

if your just flushing the fluid, start with the right rear, then left rear, then right front, the left front.
if you have air in your system, you might not be able to get the air out of the abs module.
a poor mans to get the air out would be to bleed it, then go out and jump on the brakes, activating the abs a couple times, then re-bleed.

sorry to repeat my input from the other thread, but this may be a case of "if it isn't broke don't fix it". the chance of causing a problem could be greater than the chance of preventing one. In any case I hope I'm wrong and it goes smoothly.
