I'm changing the breaks on my car and would like to drain the break fluid in order to replace it. It drains too slowly on its own and, most of the time, it doesn't drain at all. What should I do?

Hi there,
Get a small syringe and suck out the fluid from the master cylinder, clean the reservoir with a small amount of brake clean on a rag, then bleed the brakes to remove all old fluid from the lines.
