What type of brake fluid do you have in the system now? I have used Castrol Dot 4 for over 30 years with out any problems. It is must if you have Girling brakes and don't want the seals to leak.

One way to change the fluid is to use a cannister that can be pressurized filled with fluid and just open the bleeds one at a time and let the new fluid flush out the old. Just make sure the cannister never runs out of fluid

You can also use a vacuum pump but that is not as effective IMHO.
