Default brake fluid flush

I'm going to replace old fluid tomorrow and was wandering what everybody elses techniques are as far as flushing the system.

Make sure you buy 2 quarts of a good synthetic brake fluid like Castrol or Vavoline for better results.

If there is a Pep Boys near you, they have the DOT3/4 synthetic Castrol fluid

The Rave has a nice and easy, one-pager on it. If you need real pics, I think there's a reply/comment in a thread that Spike posted where they used a one-way valve for an easy one-man job:

Yeah antmen, that is the thread I found after I had already posted this. And Mike, I looked everywhere today for castrol synthetic and couldn't find it, so I went with the valvoline synthetic. We don't have pep boys here in WV, just napa, autozone and advance auto. The only place I could find the global peak coolant was tractor supply.
