To replace the brake fluid on a 1979 Chevy El Camino, first, locate the brake fluid reservoir and remove the cap. Use a turkey baster or siphon to remove the old fluid, then fill the reservoir with new brake fluid that meets the specifications (usually DOT 3 or DOT 4). Next, bleed the brakes by having an assistant pump the brake pedal while you open the bleeder valves at each wheel until you see clear, new fluid without bubbles. Close the bleeder valves, ensure the reservoir is properly filled, and replace the cap.
