You can do it the hard way or the easy way.
The hard way requires three people. You put the car on jackstands and remove all four wheels. Put the wheels under the car; if it falls off a jackstand it will land on the tires and many dollars will be saved. Now...one person sits in the driver's seat and puts his/her foot on the brakes. The second person stands next to the master cylinder with a big bottle of brake fluid in hand. The third has a hose that'll fit on the bleeder valves, a wrench that'll turn the bleeder valves, and a quart bottle with some fresh brake fluid in it, plus a container of new fluid and an empty jug to hold the old fluid.
Start by sucking all the brake fluid you can get out of the reservoir with a turkey baster, vacuum pump, syringe or whatever you have. Fill it back up with new fluid. Then you go to one wheel, put the hose and wrench on a bleeder, and yell "pump!" The person in the car will start pumping the brakes. At pump two, open the valve. The person next to the reservoir will start adding fluid to keep it full, and you will watch what comes out of the hose: when the fluid coming out is brake-fluid color, that wheel is changed. Do the same thing on the other three wheels.
The easy way is to replace the person at the front and the person in the car with a power bleeder. I think Motive Products has a monopoly on these. After you suck out the bad fluid, fill the reservoir from a fresh quart or liter bottle, then dump the rest of the fluid into the power bleeder tank. Hook the hose to the reservoir, pump the thing up to 10-15 psi, go to one wheel, hook up the hose and wrench, and open the valve. Sit there and wait until the fluid coming out is clear, then go to the next wheel. If you have one of these, go around the car twice.
