The comment by GregS is appropriate. Don't go all the way to the floor with the pedal when bleeding. Half way is sufficient. I don't think there's much risk of ruining the seals in the master cylinder on these cars. They use an aluminum master cylinder, so it doesn't collect up as much seal destroying junk as cars with a ferrous master cylinder. Still it's always good advice to limit brake travel when bleeding.

More of a learning curb than expected...........
I've actually thought about the use of my portable air tank and sucking air out to make a vacuum. If I connected this up to my reservoir, could I suck out the fluid?
Although my current fluid is quite clear, it has been 3 years in there, and I do want to replace with synthetic anyway.
