Nice work...
I hook up the MityVac to the return line, suck the old stuff out, fill the reservoir and suck it through.

Will this get all the fluid out without turning the wheels too?

Does a pretty darn good job, that's all I can tell ya. Clean and easy-peasy.

1. Suck reservoir dry with MityVac
2. Remove upper return line and plug reservoir port.
3. Insert MityVac hose into return line and suck system dry.
4. Add fluid to reservoir and suck through until clean fluid appears.
5. Let reservoir drain low before stopping so you can remove plug and replace return hose with minimum spillage.
6. Fill reservoir, start engine and top off as necessary.
7. Check level next day.
