How to flush the brake system?

Hello to all again!

I did a search and saw some people talking about flushing/bleeding the brake system, but nobody actually said how to do it. So how do I do it?

Thanks in advance for any helpl

open all the bleeders and then keep pouring new fluid in until you think you replaced it all dont let the master go dry or you will have to bleed the brakes

So do I just open all the bleeders and pump the brakes or not do anything and let it flow out? Also should I let the fluid go down almost to the bottom in the reservoir and THEN add new fluid?

Thanks.
