When one changes often enough a trick is to use alternating color fluids to make it obvious that you're fresh fluid has pushed all the older fluid out. If this is the first time doing a change it should be easy for you to spot the clean amber fluid over the old black liquid.
If doing the flush alone you may want to invest in a pressure bleeder such as the ones offered by Motive. There are lots of internet articles on making your own pressure bleeder with a pump garden sprayer.
Be sure to check the health of your lines anytime you're working on the brake system. Replace if necessary.
Ok i moved forward and got the brakes 4 wheels and ceramic pads from BrakeMotive on Ebay replaced those and bleed the 10 year old brake fluid from my EB with Castrol Synthetic Dot 3. And so far i am happy as hell the brakes are working great nice pedal feel and feels a lot safer and quieter in inside again.
