Best way is to use one of these: CLICK

It uses compressed air from your spare tyre to 'blow' the new fluid through the system. It comes with instructions on how to use it. Well worth the money as it saves your wrecking your master cylinder seals pumping air.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
