I'd like to change the brake fluid in my 94 Civic with ABS, but I'm
unsure of the best method to ensure that all or most fluid is replaced.
It looks to me like changing the fluid in the ABS unit is beyond my DIY
capabilities. The bleeder T-wrench would cost $116, and the ALB Checker
would be $825! Certainly not items I'd consider purchasing for the
couple of times I'd use them.

So the question is, is it worth replacing the fluid in the primary
system when it won't be possible for me to replace the ABS fluid? My ABS
*rarely* activates. Should I at least suck out the fluid in the ABS
reservoir and replace at least that, in addition to replacing the fluid
in the primary system, then activate the ABS unit by stopping suddenly
on loose gravel or sandy ground several times to "mix" some of the new
fluid with the old? I need to activate the ABS a few times periodically
anyway, I've heard here, to avoid significant problems with the unit
down the road.

Can I suck the old fluid out of just the ABS reservoir and pour new in
*without* having to bleed the unit?

Should I simply find a shop that can change the fluid and have them do
both systems?

If it's worth doing the primary system myself, would it be
reasonable/correct to suck out the master cylinder, refill with new
fluid, then, at the bleeder screws at each caliper, suck through a bunch
of fluid to clear the old and replace with new? Anyone have any idea how
many ML of fluid are in each pipe, between master cylinder and each
caliper? Maybe the color will be different, maybe not... I have no idea
when the fluid was last changed as the owner didn't pass on the repair
record. I did get a monster quart bottle of brake fluid to do this, so I
suppose I'll just suck through a bunch and try not to overdo it. ;-)

Tips from experience would be appreciated. I can't afford to screw it up
and not have the use of the car immediately afterwards, at least not
this week. Planning to do it Tue if I have time. TIA.
