It's not that hard dude. Just open up all the bleeder valves on the caliper, open up the master cylinder cap, and put a bucket under each caliper (or towel, whichever you have.) and just keep topping off the master cylinder with about 3 bottles of DOT 3 just to make sure all the old fluid is gone, close up the bleeders, and re-fill the master cylinder to the full line. Done.
